Cow Care 14 y
An "easy 'sensory cow meditation' (to) be done every time you milk your cow."
Cow Care
By farmer M in California
”I am grateful for my cows. Certainly I adore the milk, manure and meat they provide, but I am truly grateful for one particular thing. When I sit to milk my cows twice a day, their large warm energy soothes me into myself again. Twice a day they create the space for such a restorative gift.
Therefore I feel it is the least I can do to give them the care I deeply feel they deserve. I would like to share with you my daily checklist that enables me to begin to deliver such care.
I have found that the best time to check my cows is right before I ... read more Wisconsin Senate Committee on Agriculture Says Yes To Raw Milk! 14 y

"Several organic dairies in California are going out of business, and many of their cows will be sent to slaughter or sold to conventional dairies. We need your help to rescue these cows."
Greetings!
”We have been able to rescue 40 cows thus far for Operation Cow Rescue!! While we have had amazing outreach so far we are still wanting to save about 60 more cows. Any help that you can provide would be absolutely amazing! We can even set you up with others who may be interested but cannot afford the whole price. This is a life changing event for these many cows that are living in horrible conditions, any help that you can provide for their well being would be amazing.
Thank you for your interest in this amazing program!!”

Commentary on Raw Milk by Sophia
”Why would we take milk from a nursing mother, and first smack it really hard against a wall (homoginize it) and then heat it (pasteurize it), killing what is inherently absorbable and nutritious? It seems barbaric!
We are the only species who would think to obliterate the most natural, healing food; the food Mother provides. Fear and control and isolation are powerful, deleterious forces when behind any philosophy.
Let’s embrace what Mother has to offer. Raw Love.”

”ACTION ALERT FROM THE BIODYNAMIC ASSOCIATION”
The Zinniker Family Farm of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, was established in 1943 and is considered one the oldest biodynamic farms in the United States. The farm has played a key role in the biodynamic movement, hosting field days, workshops, and prep-making events that have introduced hundreds of thousands of farmers and consumers to biodynamic agriculture. This fall, Zinniker Farm was shut down by the State of Wisconsin for distributing raw milk through a cow-share program they had run since the mid-80s.

Beginning to identifying, prioritize and clarify a number of Raw Milk issues & subsequently identifying a foundational issue of "Food Sovereignty"!
There are a number of issues that one can find regarding the subject of Raw Milk. Some of these issues seem to have the appearance of controversy surrounding them. That is why we started with: ”The Raw Milk Controversy: Fact & Fiction” as the original title in the DVD that I have produced.
It is my intention to begin an index to this blog and identify the issues that I have covered (over the past two years) starting with at least four categories including:
Food Freedom (AKA Food Sovereignty),
Health & Nutrition,
Dairy Farming and
Legal Issues.
In the Raw Milk DVD we also covered ... read more "Michael Schmidt Vindicated In Ontario ...

”S 510 is the corporate effort on a national level to get rid of raw milk (and the farmers producing it) by corporate dairies now demanding pasteurization regulations being inserted in it as a food safety measure. ...
At the state level, corporate lobbyists will pull back but then return with more later on, including pressure (of all kinds) to remove honest state officials who are not in their pocket.

Quote from "Milk: The Surprising Story Through The Ages" By Anne Mendelson
By Anne Mendelson
”Milk itself
would have been a fascinating subject at any time in history.
It is really and truly the First Food,
at least for all members of the mammal class.
The practice of milking
was an anchor of many prehistoric civilizations,
one of humanity’s
oldest and deepest bonds with domestic animals.
The animals raised for the purpose
are remarkable creatures,
though they remain nearly invisible
to most of the people who put milk on shopping lists.
What they produce is a biochemical marvel
that modern science has not yet finished analyzing,
Its still-unp ... read more The Three Biggest Milk Myths 15 y

”Great article although I need to point out one grave error. The U.S. is not a Democracy it is a Republic. We don’t say ’….and to the Democracy for which it stands…’ and the word Democracy is not anywhere in our founding documents but the Constitution Guarantees to each state a Republic, there is a difference and our founders spoke highly of a Republic and badly about the evils of Democracy.”
