We now own part of a cow. Raw milk question.

[patman75]

After doing a lot of research on raw milk and its health benifits we bought a share of a cow on a Amish co-op. Raw milk starts flowing on Nov 4.

So my question is for those who consume raw milk. Does raw milk help with alergies, asthma, digestive disorders, exzema, immune system booster, bacteria flora primer, etc as advertised? Has anyone had health issues improve after starting to drink raw milk?

I'm not interested in hearing about pasterized milk or why I should not be drinking raw milk.

Thanks for the feedback

Im sorry I can not answer your questions but I know that I never had diarrhea when I drank the raw milk but I do with the pasteurized. As long as the cow is healthy, checked for typhoid and other diseases I would gladly drink it. Handling is also important. I remember setting a large pan of milk in the refrigerator overnite, then we would fold the rich cream off to go on our cereal or oatmeal. It was so special , nothing like the milk we get now. We always called the pasteurized stuff (blue john) because it looked odd. Enjoy Gloria Jean

We buy raw goat milk from our neighbor. My daughter is now in kindergarten with the inevitable colds, germs, etc... With the two colds she's had since school began, neither lasted longer than 3 days.

Where are you in Michigan? Are you within the bovine tuberculosis area?

Just remember to practice good sanitation of you're going to be drinking raw milk--put milk in clean containers, keep refridgerated, etc... People used to die in the old days from drinking contaminated milk, part of the reason that the gov't mandates the pasteurization.

You'll also have to learn to make your own cheese now, too

I didn't think that many Amish lived in that part of the state. I thought they were mainly in Osceola, Clare, Gladwin & Iosco counties.

I know a few people that can have raw milk but can't have pasturized milk.
