But disagreeing done with tact gives a person insight into different methods that can be used to formulate a game plan that is right for you. In not agreeing and being exposed to different ways it does allow us to learn.
The unfortunate part about ranging and the comments you received was that people read the post and never took into consideration the region you live in or asked what is growing on the property. Like any of us who have done this in different regions know: What works on one property will not work...
You do realize that most of the members here are also on BYC as are all the mods. We do tend to discourage forum bashing on all the sites as listed in the rules all agree to upon joining.
To answer an earlier question: "Yes there is more in store on the raw milk issue in Canada. Moves to standardize the cow share services, practices and protocols across the country are on the horizon."
That is why the US and Canadian Alliances for Raw Milk have come together.

This has been a long battle. The judge held up the rights of canadians to self determination in food choices. YEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAA!
One piece at a time we make a difference.
That corporate tactic can backfire on them also. It can work to encite people to act and speak out. Small groups have the advantage in many cases considering they can react and adapt tactics quicker than a mega-corp.
Over the past year I have seen a real awakening in the general public. More people searching out information on how to grow there own or where to access Farm Fresh Produce. At the same time I have noted more movement on the part of many agencies cracking down on small producers over producing...
Your last sentence sums up the major intent of the rule and reasoning for it. It should not hamper or interfere with social interaction here at all. IMHO
I agree with the note of caution that has been present here. I also read comments from those who mega dose as personal experience they have had with alternatives. From there it is up to the individual to decide what course of action they wish to research and persue. None of us are doctors, but...
You really want RAW MILK and not pasteurized product for kefir. If you can't find a good quality dairy source email me and I may be able to help find you a local source. Ask a lot of questions at the dairy concerning WHAT they feed the cows. All that good work to get healthy can go right out the...
I have a solution for you with the raw milk and freezing it. As you are aware the cream separates also and never recombines properly. If you ad 1/2 tsp. of baking soda to a gallon of milk and mix well before freezing the cream does recombine normally when thawed and you do not get the off flavor...
Just need more SS folk with animals over at BYH with an organic, self sustaining mindset and the playing field becomes leveled because of numbers. I see that change in balance at BYH happening already.
Or they could email me if they can't find anything. :D I network with tons of raw milk producers/cowshares in Canada and the US. The food underground in general is getting bigger by the month.
It was a good diversion and laugh at their advice. Must be subsidized by some pharma company. :D
It said I'm 1 year and 3 months younger than I am. That must mean the 20 somethings I have had work for me are 35 years older than they are. :D
A lot of additions have Been made to BYHERDS in the past weeks thanks to many members from here and the other BYforums. Thank you to all for your suggestions and input.
If you want a nifty hand operated job google KYOTO BRICKMAKER. There are a number of places that offer them. Originally designed for making compressed/shredded paper bricks. It is amazing how many bricks you can make in an hour with one. There are a number of horse operations in europe that use...
