We have butter for Members. Food for thought 🐮

Why I won’t and don’t sell butter?!? (We don’t sell any dairy but anyways….)

For the 14 # of butter the made yesterday, it took around 36 gallons of fresh raw milk…
If I sold whole raw milk for the same pricing as other local raw milk producers in the state that would be $432-$720 in milk.

Using the low side of that, butter should be $30 per pound and that doesn’t take into the time separating the cream/milk and cleaning up, the time churning the cream to butter, the time washing and packing the butter, and the time cleaning up when done with the butter.

I don’t and won’t sell any butter.

CALF- AND KID-SHARING INCREASE THE RISKS OF PATHOGENS IN RAW MILK. 🐄🥛🐄 Many scientific studies have verified that calves and kids are more likely to carry pathogens than their fully-grown counterparts. This information makes some farmers and consumers uncomfortable, yet it is still important to consider in developing a plan for minimizing the risk of pathogens from raw milk.

Some ways to reduce the risk include 🧐🧐🧐:
• Bottle feeding calves and kids
• Implementing diligent udder preparation
• Having a dedicated nurse cow or dam
• Monitoring the calves/kids for signs of illness and not consuming the milk if illness is present
