What a great place to raise your kids!

Thank you for your comment

Now have you notice any changes(postitive one) since your children have been able to recieve Raw Milk?

[pocketsofthefuture]

I don't think that there has been any noticeable dramatic change but we have all been healthier and stronger and our allergies have either lessened or disappeared altogether. I think that the noticeable change would come if we returned to store bought milk.

I personally am disappointed. Do you not see how thin that cow is. It looks sickly. You could be drinking bad milk, and your family too. That cow is either sick or under nourished. I have been around milk cows all my life, and I've only seen unhealthy cows with their ribs and hip bones sticking out. I'm not judging you. Only stating facts. Have a vet look at that cow.

@cowboywithspurs36 You just live for money don't you? The donkey is a good family pet. Why don't you go sell your dog? and BTW who cares what he does with his chickens. At night the go inside and sit on a stick to sleep. Why risk leaving it open when they stay inside anyways.

@gingermorley Milking cows are supposed to look like this. I doubt you have been around them all your life. If you have a good milking cow she wil put more into her milk production than her body fat. She might even be an old cow. Stop judging people and animals when you know nothing of the sort!

How do you keep your dog from going after your chickens?

@Ejahi actually fats are what makes a coat shiny, usually seed oil meals. u r ignorant!

hi-5 to your boy . he milked her out good . but just saying . so you don't sound like city person . get a cow to a routine and put feed infront of them. they will go to the same place . by the way sell the donkey . what good does it serve you ? leave the chicken coop door open all night unless you have lost chickens too coon or fox . but for people to buy a cow and a few chickens won;t keep the bills down .lol it's great that ur kids see where real food comes from
