THE DEVIL IN THE MILK

I just finished reading THE DEVIL IN THE MILK.  It deals with the controversy over A1 or A2 milk.  All of the possible health conditions caused by drinking milk from cows with the A1 genes.  I heard it was better to have cows that tested A2 but until I read this book I was not sure what all the fuss was about.  I am very glad I had all my cows tested and they all came back as A2.  DNA gene testing was not easy or cheep but I am glad I thought it was worth the time and expense.  Now, after reading this book, I can feel more confident that the milk from my Jersey cows is not causing the health problems mentioned in this book.

Summer Time

Thank God for all the beautiful rain.  The grass has been great so the cows are very happy. The milk  they are producing is making the best butter and cheese.  Speaking of cheese we are getting a group together to take a raw milk cheese making class in Lexington.  If anyone is interested please give me a call ( 502-857-0066 ).
