Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 In answer to several posts, yes it is legal to sell raw milk in PA ifone is licensed to do so. We are not licensed to sell raw milk, butrather what is classified as manufacturing milk. All of our goatmilk (except what we personally use) is shipped by tanker to NewHolland, Pa. where it is made in a soft goat cheese called Chevre. We ourselves drink our milk raw with good health and no problems. Ican see the need to pasturize milk for the general public as thereare health risks with drinking raw milk. As for store milk I don'tbelieve it is the evil enemy. Because we do sell as much milk as wecan produce and this is our only income, and we have access to storecow milk for free we use it on our animals with great success. Wehave raised calves, pigs, and baby goats on store milk. The pigs andcalves were butchered in early life, but the goats were raised forthe milk line and after using store milk on babies, we have had noside effects in adults as old as 6 years old as of this date. Thisis not to say that people living much longer lives than animals wouldnot be affected.I will agree that unpasturized momma milk is by far the greatestsource of nutrition for the newborn. Colostrom is the first milk andthe greatest immune builder. When I switch my babies to store milk,it is only after momma milk and I mix the goat/store milk for themwhen they are a week old.I also add soda and probiotics to the milk and when they are about amonth old I start to add a little garlic powder and rosehip powder tothe feed.Perhaps it is the herbs that make the store milk seem so good forgrowth and reproduction. I tried to add garlic and rosehips to themilk at around 3 days, but it caused blood in the stools. I gavethem slippery elm powder in the milk and it cleared up the blood. They were still to sensitive at this age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Ruth, Thanks for the data. That's great that you and your family get to drink the raw milk. I agree it is far superior. You sould like quite an herbalist using garlic and slippery elm and rose hips etc. Hope you are getting some good tips off the list. Do you know about cayenne pepper as an emergency treatment for heart attacks and strokes? Our 13 year old dog started to have an attack one day and we ran for the cayenne and gave him a whole dropperful. He came right out of it, got up immediately and seemed fine. Cayenne dialates blood vessels and thus moves blood throughout the body. There are cases where brain or heart damage has been averted or greatly lessened.
