OT - bought my cow today!
I am so thrilled. It took me forever to find a place to get raw milk. So today I got to bring home my first gallon, and I also got some free range eggs. And I learned that the farmer has a "cheese guy" that makes cheese with raw milk from the farm and so I will be able to get some cheese that I actually feel good about eating.
I also plan to make yogurt, cottage cheese (for my partner, I can't stand the stuff) and butter.
And. for Christmas my mother bought me these milk bottles. They look like the old fashioned bottles the milk man used to deliver. Know what I mean? So I'm all excited 'cause my milk looks cute in the fridge. I guess I'm easy to excite.

I mostly just wanted local milk from a small farm where the cows were treated well, but if I could get it raw, even better. It contains "good bacteria" like yogurt does, only that is also killed when it's pasteurized.

Watch the fat content of your milk. Even if you pour off the cream that gathers on the top, the rest still has a lot more fat than you are used to. Hopefully you don't dump on high fat stuff. go**** is good but way high in calories. We got raw milk for years when the kids where small and my morning "dessert" was cereal with cream. Brings back great momories. You should be able to make great protein ice cream. Yummmmmmmm
