I hope I'm not the only one
Do we have any raw milk drinkers here?

Well, I can't put an attachment on an email or PM through this site so I will just post the contract here. We used a contract I found online (after doing some research about what it needed to contain), and then tweaked it a little since our shares require us to do the milking ourselves. Here is what we came up with:
Sale And Boarding Agreement for (insert your farm or herd name here) Herd Share
This agreement, made this ______ day of ________, ________, by and between _________________ (Seller) and ___________________________ (Buyer, Owner).
1. Sale and Payment
A. Seller agrees to sell ______ share(s) to Buyer at a price of $20.00 per share. A share is defined as an undivided interest in the herd, not any particular cow. Full payment is required for all shares upon execution of this contract.
2. Boarding of Animals
A. Seller agrees to provide care and boarding for Buyers cattle on Sellers farm for a cost of $10.00 per month, per share purchased, due on the first day of each month. Care and boarding will include providing shelter, feed, water, and normal veterinary care as necessary. Seller states that all cows in the herd are, at the signing of this agreement, in good health. Seller agrees to notify Buyer of any medical issues concerning the herd within 24hrs of the issue becoming apparent. This notification will be done by phone, email, or in person. Buyer agrees to notify Seller of any health issues concerning the herd within 12hrs of the issue becoming apparent. This notification will be done by phone or in person.
B. Seller will maintain his premises and facilities in good and safe condition, at all times Buyer has cattle boarded at his facility.

D. Seller assumes all risk from loss of animals in the herd. Seller is entitled to all gain when a cow is removed from the herd.
3. Collection and Storage of milk.
A. Buyer has represented that any milk obtained during the duration of the herd share is for personal use.
B. Buyer acknowledges responsibility for milking any cow that is part of the herd and needs to be milked during their designated time. If the buyer is unable to milk at their designated time, they are responsible for finding a replacement who agrees to all the terms of this herd share. This is to ensure the health and continued production of the cow.

I raised my kids on raw milk. I want a dairy cow, but DH feels like I have my hands full and don't need to take on another responsibility.

Really?? LOL, so glad I am not alone. Thought I was going out on a limb here by asking.
i'm raising my hand too
we have been on totally raw milk now for over a year. We have to go about 30 miles to get it, but i have three other families who also go and so we take turns, so three weeks out of the month, my milk is delivered to my door
it is SO worth it and my kids are totally spoiled by it. They can't stand store milk at all, it makes them gag!
3.75 a gallon i think is a great price that we get.
