Rachel in KY Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Sen. Ron Paul has introduced a bill to make it legal to sell raw milk. Please read over and consider signing. Thanks! http://www.ftcldf.org/petitions/pnum987.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 In Texas, raw milk can be sold directly to the consumer by the producer, if the dairy is "certified 'Grade A Raw for Retail' ". May not be sold in stores. I hope that any national law would require uniform and rigorous certification standards. Something along the lines of the more rigorous third-party certifications by organic food organizations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks for the link, I just sent a message to my congressman! The nearest source of raw milk for us is about an hour's drive, since in NM you can only buy raw milk directly from the farm. :sad: I've though about getting our own mini-Jersey -- is your Blossom a mini?

Rachel in KY Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Blossom's a full size Jersey. She's due to calve in August, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a heifer. I've been considering breeding her to a mini next time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I just read the "synopsis", and have a question. Will the bill specify which animals are covered? Most people seem to think only of cows; however, I have a good friend who has her own milk goats. Other people want sheep raw milk for cheese. Thanks ! (I'm reading this thread only for sake of my friend with the goats, who does not use this message board.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel in KY Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 It's my understanding that goat milk would be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 In AR the sale of raw cow's milk is illegal. I would be thrilled if this law was passed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessed2fosteradopt Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I order my milk from PA and can get it in Whole Foods here but it is labeled for pet consumption only. I would love it to be readily and legally available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
