I wanted to cry when I saw all those cattle packed into the dirt paddocks. Disgusting.

But as soon as you start researching where the food comes from and what's involved in commercially raising that food it becomes more difficult to make those same decisions. Unfortunately some people don't mind living in blissful ignorance. I'm glad your hubby isn't one of them! <br /><br />SandySpring Lake Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06099882615130359566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-39046108841206639542010-07-27T20:28:35.926-07:002010-07-27T20:28:35.926-07:00I really would love to be in a position to milk ye...I really would love to be in a position to milk year round.

It's big business at it's best trying to get gov'mt to pass crap laws that are based on bogus information. I'm in Wisconsin, where all those so called "sad" cows are... the ones on the family farm down the road have a beautiful pasture with, TREES, yes shade trees, and warm barns they rest in in the winter. I finally found a source for "real" eggs - I'm a happy camper...now for some dairy. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-72204249452228674822010-07-26T21:00:37.973-07:002010-07-26T21:00:37.973-07:00Well said!

I too feel sad for those "happy cows". Support your local dairy farmer. The media really goes out of their way to scare people about unpasturized milk. I guess the rest of the world must have died off from drinking unpasturized goats milk.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257564938538898594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-2569705986500486292010-07-26T19:34:02.517-07:002010-07-26T19:34:02.517-07:00Let's hope those were commercial farms you saw...Let's hope those were commercial farms you saw and not the organic farms....

If need be, you can pasteurize your own milk to make your husband more at ease. <br />I know there are some farms that are certified Humane as well as organic. You might check that out if you don't have access to your own cow or goat.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801767533658151987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-24335772558192242982010-07-26T09:58:15.883-07:002010-07-26T09:58:15.883-07:00Nicely said!

I tell people I KNOW where my milk comes from and what goes into it..<br /> I dont need a TV ad to mislead me.. Of course the Dairy industry is so against us small time people and raising our own that any little thing like some one Possibly getting sick from raw milk is blown WAY out of Proportion to use as a scare tactic.
