    Raw milk~shares in cow?????~I think I'd rather buy a low line jersey!

    I think it would worth it to buy a baby & finish raising it to breeding age. Cheaper that way! There is a local farm that has lowlines nearby & I am tempted to talk to them. Jersey have a better butterfat content than holsteins do.
