Milk Shares Available!

The lovely Mrs. Rachel the Jersey Cow had her calf two weeks ago and the milk is coming in strong!

Being her first calf, she has had to learn how to be milked and she is doing great at understanding the whole process. We have had manly LONG talks about the need to stand still, the need to keep her right let back, and most importantly the absolute necessity to NEVER kick!  I will admit, there were times that I thought neither of us would ever see the Promised Land of organized milking but we have made some great break-throughs in the last few days. 

Here is Mrs. Rachel. 

And here is her beautiful heifer calf enjoying the shade of the trunk of a Maple Tree.

In Tennessee, the law says that you must buy a share of the cow in order to get raw milk. I will sell you a share for $50 and that buys you in. Then, you pay a monthly fee of $40 for the care, feeding, milkiing, and upkeep of the cow. That entitles you to 1 gallon of fresh milk every week. If you want more than one gallon, then you can buy more shares. 

Let me know if you are interested and I can send you the contract to let you check it out and/ or answer any other questions you may have. Thanks!
