@Lovespoon That sounds like a very good way of doing things. We've always only raised beef cattle, but this summer will milk our 1st Jersey

[FarmConnect.net @farmconnect]

@follownathan (like the one used by the farmer who we own a cowshare with) means less chance of contamination Still raw modern clean methods

[FarmConnect.net @farmconnect]

@follownathan I realize you are digging the hand milking idea right now, but modern milking methods , even like small milk machine/tank cont

@thekansascowboy Nice setup on the back of your truck for round bales! Is that home made? I want one on my truck!

@ksfarmboy If you keep thinking logically like that, remember, don't ever expect to get or keep a guv'ment job.

@SteakPerfection I hope I can get away with an Irish joke once in awhile since I'm Irish.
