Here is the raw cows milk info! I asked her to send me pics and info to answer some of your questions...
Cows are milked 2xs a day. Udders are washed prior to and udder cream put on before and after milking. Automatic machine is used. It is cleaned and sterilized before and after each milking. Milk is placed in freezer for 8-10 hours for cool down then placed in fridge for mo more than 24 hours. If not sold in 24 hours, it is used to feed calves and pigs.
Cows are fed premium alfalfa hay, "free choice" burmuda grass and recieve 40 lbs of corn per day for the 2. They have calves that share the milk and nurse whenever they want.
They recieve a natural salt and mineral supplement ("free choice") along with bread and produce for treats.

The milk is only allowed to be sold in AZ as "not for human consumption". I just recieved the milk today, so please let me know asap if you want some. I want to make sure it all gets sold since it is so fresh. I have 10 gallons.

I am supposed to be picking up honey tonight, but have not heard from the person as to where or when, so if I do have honey, I will have it out at the coffee shop tomorrow on a shelf. Also...we will have eggs there tomorrow for $3.50 a doz. If you have extra egg cartons left over from the last 2 weeks OR just extras around the house...please bring them for recyle :)

See you tomorrow!!

Also, don't forget the coffee shop. Make sure to grab a peach tea, a smoothie or an ice cold blended coffee :)
