If parents are paying top dollar for milk from small farms you can pretty much bet your boots that they will not neglect to keep an eye on their kids diet.

The milk from our Jerseys is so rich that even the stuff that has been "skimmed" still has quite a bit of butter fat in it.

That is the milk that we use for drinking in the house. I would say it is about the same as 2% maybe a bit richer.

I do not sell fresh milk, it is too much a pain legally.

Well that’s a good point—these days if you’re buying milk from a farm you’re not just the average shopper. I guess I’m imagining the labeling requirement having been enacted back in the day when true skim milk might have been more common. Do you happened to know when it came about?

BTW, it looks like a farmer recently won a lawsuit against the FDA and that true skim milk can be labeled truthfully now. He won it on a first amendment basis, which is pretty cool:
