Farm Produces Non-Violent Milk

An Australian farm is laying claim to producing the country's only non-violent milk, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.

Workers on New Govardhana farm in Queensland do not use dogs to round up cattle, machines for milking or send cows to slaughter.

One of the 80 Hare Krishna devotees who live on the farm, Vrindavana Sevika Devi Dasi said milk from the cows, known as ahimsa milk, was much creamier and sweeter than normal milk because of the treatment of the herd.

She said the cows were hand milked and the faith's followers wanted to show the dairy industry a positive alternative.

Do the cow’s give you permission? It could be a case of unwanted touching. :)

Can’t say for sure about the ahimsa milk, but around these parts, milk has long had a high sugar content. The feed that dairy cows get in addition to ensilage and hay, the feed that comes from the feed mill, contains protein concentrate which is what supercharges the cow to produce more milk.

They mix black strap molasses with the feed to make it more palatable, and the sticky molasses captures all the small fine particles and dust created when the grain is ground up into feed. The cows love the sweet feed and there is no dust for them to inhale while consuming the feed.

Sweet feed for horses contains molasses, too; but in most cases the grain is not ground up for horse feed. The whole grains are mixed together and combined with molasses for horses, without grinding. Of course, the only people I know of who milk horses and use the milk for human consumption are the folks out on the steppes of Mongolia. They make cheese and everything from horse milk. I think they even ferment some and create a wicked beverage from it!
