Abundance


Nothing keeps the health of a family, and a farm, at a high level better than a cow. If you and your children have ample good, fresh, unpasteurized milk, butter, buttermilk, cheese, yogurt, and whey, you will simply be a healthy family, and that is the end of it. If your pigs and poultry get their share of the milk by products, they also will be healthy and will thrive. If your garden gets plenty of cow manure, that too will be healthy and thrive. This cow will be the wellspring of all your health and well-being.--John Seymour

I'm so jealous!! Our cows are dry :( and I don't have a milk goat anymore (although I'm looking)... I miss super fresh milk!
