I'll repeat...you don't know the half of it.
10 hours ago I was offered (not just me but all of us in milk club) an option to buy a share of one of the cows pictured in THE milk thread that are hanging out under the basketball goal.
I'm seriously considering it.
You guys would probably cry getting back on the plane and having to fly away from this milk.  :P

Actually John ... I know where you are coming from ... raw milk from grass fed cows has no equivalent in taste, nutrition, and cleanliness and could be locally accessible and sustainable.  I wish I still had access to it for myself.

To make it wilder we did a milk shoot out with 2 raw milks from different farms and they are certainly different. Both excellent but one is better.

If I buy the share it will be the better of the 2 milks that is slightly sweeter and gets the nod as the best one....so far.  ;)

Hahaha!

Wanna buy a cow?

If he was just a little bit closer I would have bought us a share this am.

The drop is just so convenient....decisions, decisions.  :-\

LOL at all of this, I would suggest that if John were not a (competent and motivated) cheese head, well maybe you are both just looking for trouble with this, but given that he has some skills that would put the rest of the milk to work, well, awesome!

Go for it John, at least try it once. What a great opportunity you have there. If you have the cash to spare, just do it, if only this one time.

I can just see John-boy now, skipping out to the barn to milk the cow, with his stool and frothing pitcher in hand.   ;D

You guys are overestimating what your share gets you.

The cow stays put on the farm with the farmers and all of that stays the same. When you buy a share of a racehorse or a pro poker player they don't come stay at your house and eat out of your fridge.  :P

Cows are like poker players....

Except they don't have opposable thumbs so won't be able to deal very well.

How are they pitching the share, does the math make sense? Driving down there is inconvenient, I'd buy two shares to get one share delivered to the front door.

It's a fair price...but driving down there is a problem.

To toss this thread totally off orbit and deal the double hijack card I just scored a Kombucha scoby baby from a lady just a few miles north of us.  8)

Saved about a months worth of harvesting and step up cultivating that I was going to start on tomorrow.

Sweet!
