Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 For what it is worth. . .I know some people in my hometown in the Midwest who are dairy farmers. They told me one time that all of their milk is tested when it is picked up and that if the white cell count is high, they get paid less for the milk. I understand that this means the cows have infections. Is it pus??? Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
