For your interest:

Some believe the use of rBGH, rBST, IGS1 and related are no longer used in the Dairy Industry.

The FDA says there is no problem with rBGH.

It is in wide use.

There are on youtube videos by Monsanto telling how good it is, others telling how not so good.

The guesstimates of the % of use is 30% by some and 90% by others.

The use of these result in a high occurrence of Mastitis, mastitis causes Puss. The puss combines with milk

Puss has been found in milk by independent labs.

The presents of puss in milk is denied by the Dairy industry.

The FDA is busy with other things.

Hi Mary, The Miniature Jersey is a great pet for a small land owner. The eat less, are smaller and easy to handle, and turn grass hay into fresh raw milk. Our girls raise Minis, they've raised them from bottle babies, clean, feed and milk them. Our youngest has a cart that the bull pulls for her.

I forgot: there's a by product plants love.

Mary, get a mini, report back how long you kept it...

My hats off to any dairyman. No way do I want to be tied down to 2X/day, 365/year. I NEVER complain about dairy products prices.

In Texas, it is legal to sell raw milk, but it can only be sold on the farm. No taking it to a farmer's market, it must be picked up on the farm premises.

Sorry valley ranch and seedcorn, no cow for me. Valley ranch I live in the city or concrete jungle as I like to call it. ;)

baymule, I like the idea that you can buy it from the farm. It helps to ensure that it's fresh. I wonder if there's such a thing over here? How do I find out? What do I google?

See! Texas knows what it's doing. I'd like to have a bit of land in Texas, but we ski for money. Is there any skiing in the Lone Star?

Richard

Do you mean you ski competitively Richard?

Here's a ski resort in Dallas Texas.

:D!!
