Raw Milk

[dlbrown75]

Any one know where I can buy raw milk for my pets?

Find a cow. That's as raw as it gets.

^^^^ :this:

Raw milk is a BIG NO NO in the .gov eyes. no one can sell "raw milk" of any kind. every liquid animal feed I know of is pasteurized.

What kind of pets drink milk? Why is this in the survival forum? I am missing something here.

We looked into it. It ends up about 6 - 7 bucks a gallon.

There are quite a few places to buy it around Indy, we just decided organic milk is the best we are going to do.

Best not to court the governments ire.

And for those un informed here, its illegal to sell for human consumption in Indiana and about 20 other states. It IS legal to sell for pets. And Organic raw milk is the best way to go but my animals will settle for raw, at least it has life in it.

Im looking into buying some dairy goats but I havent got there yet.

Got it. Stupid laws. But why raw milk and not soy or other nut milks? I do not drink much milk myself, and when you think about it, after infancy should we be drinking any milk? Seems that nut milks would be better health wise than pus milk.

Not being a smartass just don't know anything about pro's of raw milk... for you pets.

Of course cheese doesn't count!

Maybe this will answer your questions. Im reading about the other milks you mentioned that I was not familiar with.

Does the state regulate human milk? Maybe this is a loophole.

 

[gundoggermax]

Why is it banned by the government and not just regulated?

I received an email a few weeks ago from out Local Growers Guild, and there is a bill in committee in the statehouse to legalize raw milk for human consumption if sold by the farmer. Hopefully it will go through.

You can buy a share of a cow, goat, or sheep. Then you can get milk from the herd oh which you are part owner. Here is a link to the Indiana chapter of the Weston Price Foundation. They list farmers that do herd shares...

I would think the best way to get it would to own the animal yourself. If you live near the Amish you might be ale to get some from them. We buy organic for our son and my wife drinks almond milk.

I have heard the Ron Paul is pro raw milk and other natural remedies. I would like to see him capitalize on that more after the election and try to get some bills passed through the house.

This is correct. It is illegal to sell raw milk for human consumption but not for pets. It IS legal to own your own cows or goats and drink that milk raw. It is frightening how much better raw milk is for you than pasteurized, which has basically had the nutrients burned out of it.

Goats are a less expensive way to go, and the milk tastes almost exactly the same as raw cow milk.

I wouldn't bother the Amish for it considering the big sting that went down a few months ago....We have always used "milnot" for our pets. It comes in a can. It can be a bit thick so we usually mix it about 50/50 with water.

Im going to buy a share of a cow at apple family farms in Mccordsville. Thanks for the help.
