Re: Do all small farms hand-milk?

[Guest guest]

Lana,

When we first started purchasing raw milk, all the farms we knew hand-milked.

Now, all but one uses machines to milk.

We are in the process of maybe purchasing a small farm, and I saw us getting up

each morning to milk by hand. NOPE, that farm has even converted to

machine...they are Plain people!

On the Raw Dairy group, I've heard of small farmers (some with only one

cow/goat) using

machines to milk.

WOW! That has gotta be costly to have a machine for just one cow/goat!

Thanks Carolyn.
