Question for Canadians and Aussies
Whenever I watch cooking programs done by folks in these countries, they always use milk in a plastic bag. Is this the only or most common way milk is sold where you live? We have jugs in the US. For instance

A New Cow
We had to put down a young beautiful cow due to a health issue that even baffled the vets. That was disappointing, but in the end, nobody knew how to save her or what was really wrong. We drink a lot of milk and cannot drink the processed product. Along with the price of milk (cheese, milk, cream, etc.) at this time and…

Extended lactation
I will be cross posting this to both goats & cattle. We do an extended lactation with our cows & then give the one milking a break (& get her bred) & milk the other for a couple of years, then get her bred. That is why we have more than one cow. A cow will give the most milk after calf #3. Yet this article says with their…

As for supplies, Glengarry and Berry Hill, both in Ontario, are two other suppliers of cheesemaking supplies. Peavey Mart also carried some. Our store is pretty limited in what they carry now. They sourced…

Improved milk with improved pastures
I am posting a link to this discussion for those who have cows & may have extra milk. Aside from feeding it to livestock & making things with it such as milk paint, this would be worth trying to see if you might get the same results. With a high producing cow calving shortly, we might just have to try this. Any further…

Mastitis
We think mastitis was building for a few days before we clued in. These were possible factors...We had a bull that stressed her terribly (he would rather suck a cow than breed). We also had a new type of mineral block that appeared to be a possible factor. Maybe the wet outside (?) but she always came in with a clean bag…
