More raw milk news
The comments section is especially hot these days. You guys really ought to check them regularly. One item that simply had to be brought to the forefront is this, from one of the other cow share operators in Michigan. Notice our friendly farmer does not identify him or herself. Probably trying to keep a low profile considering all the heat on these guys lately. Anyway, here is the full comment:
"Milk does not come from the belly of a cow. It comes from the udder of the cow. And as one of 4 other cow share operators in the state ,I am not a "goofy" farmer but a wise farmer who serves other well respected people of this state. If you were ever to see my customer list, you would wonder what these people knew that you didn't know about milk. It a wierd world that we live in. It would be easier for us to produce liquor than it is raw milk. And we could even sell that too - instead of the crop that it came from. In other states it's perfectly fine to buy raw milk. Hopefully, Cheeseburger can find another source for her milk soon."
OK. My "goofy" comment was probably a little over the top. I guess. But do we really have to get into the anatomical discussion about which part of the cow the milk comes from. Belly is a pretty generic term anyway. And I'm no raw milk farmer or anything, but where do you suppose the udder is located?
I wonder if our anonymous farmer is trying to get Cheeseburger as a new customer. Incindentally, she told me today that now that her source has, um, dried up, she has gotten on a WAITING LIST for GOAT'S MILK from Lapeer. Raw goat's milk, natch. So if she's selected she'll be buying a share of a goat to go along with her fractional ownership of a soon to be indicted cow. Some people collect baseball cards.
