 Milk

The Mrs. asked me to bring home a gal of milk a few days ago. I thought at first the kid at the convenience store gave me too much change, but not so. I got another gal jug at the supermarket a few days later 2.35 for 2%. Somehow that never makes the six o'clock news like when it goes up. Sad part is milk at the farm is around ten or eleven bucks a hunderd locally, down from near twenty a year ago. Have another glass. Frank.

 Milk

Ann; Milk may be a loss leader, I don't know, but I do know that after asking the Mrs. she tells me that milk is a good buck a gallon less now anywhere she buys it than a year ago. If they use milk as a loss leader then I'm sure that's why it is at the far end of the supermarket.
Several dairy goat operations have started in our aeria in the last few years, about 4-600 seems to be a common size herd. I haven't visited one yet, but would like to.

 Milk

KT; I'd give the goat milk a try, might have already had it and didn't know it.
I had a nice visit with one of the dairy goat operators this past winter. Said he used to milk Holsteins, but he can feed five or six goats with what one cow ate plus he gets more per hundred for the milk. He told me but I forgot how much an average goat produces daily. Anyhow he said he comes out a bit better with goats than cows. A bulk truck picks his up three times a week and goes to a dairy in SW Wisconcin where it is made into cheese. Have a big slice of cheese, good for you, I eat my share. Frank.
