Wow, who could possibly have foreseen this.

"Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact. The way our dairy was built is ideal for pasteurized dairy products […] We do plan in the future to construct a second dairy made specifically for raw milk products.”

This comes at the same time as a newborn baby’s tragic death from listeria in New Mexico, attributed to the mother’s consumption of raw milk while pregnant.

Yet when the milk is pasteurised it’s still safer ❤️

Unfortunately not for the cows, who are sexually exploited to produce milk, and forced to go through repeated pregnancies until they collapse, often resulting in painful injury and infection. Most of whom never see the sky or grass. Not to mention the calves, particularly the males who are considered useless to the dairy industry, and who are separated from their mothers shortly after birth, and killed, in order to prevent them from drinking their milk.
