Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 We get raw milk from two different sources. One says they feed the cow on green pastures and is certified milk. The other source has a " confined " cow, not certified. They feed it grass from their lawn in the summer along with hay. But they also feed it day old bread. Will the diet really make a big difference in the quality of the raw milk? Betty in Lehi Safe Place for you Treasured Photos: http://bettykarl.myphotomax.com Prints for as low as ten cents! Quote
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 The diet makes a HUGE difference. Read Dr. Ron Schmid's book "The Untold Story of Milk" to learn about how the swill dairies used to feed the left over corn mash from the whiskey distilleries to the cows. Malnourished cows can't make milk with the high levels of CLA, vitamins and butterfat that are the main health vehicles of raw milk. My favorite time of the year is early Spring because you can taste the surge of sunshine in the grass that the cows eat. If your milk doesn't make you crave more on daily basis then get a new source.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 You should be able to taste the difference. Confined cattle may be getting grass, but the bread thing should alter the flavor of the milk to some degree. K.C. much difference? > We get raw milk from two different sources.
