All the roads are PAVED with Cheese in Wisconsin! That’s why repairs are so expensive and ongoing! ;)

Really well done, if you’ve never seen it! :)

As a child, I drank raw milk daily-my grand parents had a small dairy herd. So we had fresh milk daily and the rest they sold to the large dairy for pasteurization and distribution.
Many people today swear by raw milk as a really nutritious and healing food.
The Cabbages are the cutest, by far! Love the whole concept. Totally. :)
Me too......the cabbages.
You are drinking the wrong milk
(Snip....cut to the conclusion...)
"For now, here in the United States, the best way to get milk with a higher-than-average A2 content is to buy it from a dairy that uses A2-dominant cow breeds such as the Jersey, the Guernsey, or the Normande. In Northern California, for example, Sonoma County’s Saint Benoit Creamery specifies on its milk labels that it uses “pastured Jersey cows.”
The heirloom A2 cow breeds tend to be hardy animals adapted to living on the open range and not producing a ton of milk, but what they do produce is comparatively thicker, creamier, and, many people say, a lot tastier than what you’ll typically find at the supermarket."
The entire article is worth a read!
Jessica. For 4 years in the 1980s we drove up from Chicago to see my parents in Wisconsin and would get raw milk from a jersey cow named Jessica!
He will catch some flack on the field for those sequined red shoes!
I thought that was a nice touch. :)

The way they repair roads in Illinois was to have a truck with asphalt and a guy with a shovel, it would drive slowly over a pothole the driver would holler and the shovel man would dump some asphalt in the pothold and drive on because the cars would tamp it down you know!
We could always tell when we went over the state line from Illinois to Wisconsin because the road suddenly became smooth!
I understand, Its the home state I never lived in! (Went in the service, and the family moved to Wisconsin!)
My Grand parents took the back seat out of the car and hauled 3 calves to put in the back yard of their house in town. This was before they had a house on their 20 acres-where the dairy herd was.
Those cows became quite tame and domesticated. I used to take a nap using a cow named Tippy as a pillow. She had a black tip on her tail. Later, when she was mature, it was my job to milk her.
I was pretty slow, My grandparents milked several in the time it took me to milk one. My brother was jealous, and insisted on trying to milk, but he wasn’t one to listen to directions-so the cow wouldn’t stand still for his ineptitude.
Mom felt sorry for him, so she bought him a goat to milk. Which he did for maybe 2 weeks. Then he was bored. So she made a deal with the farmer that they could have half the milk and she would pay for the feed, if they would take care of it. It made wonderful cream pies. Ha.
Try sheep’s milk, maybe? Just as digestible as goat’s milk, but it’s sweeter and creamier.
I researched that during the covid milk shortages. Stores couldn’t get milk in stock, while farmers were being ordered to dump their milk.
In Wisconsin, the ban on selling raw milk has 3 loopholes.
Loophole 1. Employees of the farm, as claimed on the farm’s tax documents, are permitted to buy raw milk from the farm at which they are employed.
Loophole 2. Anyone with an ownership interest in the farm and/or animal itself, is permitted to buy raw milk from that farm.
Loophole 3. Raw milk sales are allowed if the sale is considered incidental. In order to legally be considered “incidental”, the sale must meet all three of the following criteria:
a. The sale cannot be part of the farm’s normal business practice.
b. The exchange must take place on the farm itself.
c. The farmer cannot advertise that they are willing to sell raw milk.
The shortage was over before we found a farm willing to sell to us. But as you can see, I’ve been keeping that info in mind.
I’ll mention it to him, thanks 🙂
Mo. allows us to buy directly from the farmer. Some have farm stores and advertise on several different websites. We would likely have to drive to the next town over where there are several places that sell raw milk, eggs, pastured beef, pork, chicken etc.
“We could always tell when we went over the state line from Illinois to Wisconsin because the road suddenly became smooth!”
And it’s that way in Wisconsin between COUNTIES. I can always tell when I’ve left my well-managed county and cross over into Commie-land in Dane County. Road funds always seem to disappear from the coffers and end up for ‘education’ or freebies for illegals. *Rolleyes*
“Loophole 2. Anyone with an ownership interest in the farm and/or animal itself, is permitted to buy raw milk from that farm.”
I planned on using that one when I gear up to make milk soap. We rent crop land to the local dairy, so in my mind (Officer!) we qualify. Soap making is another skill I want to add to my ‘skill set.’ I’ve mastered melt and pour candles, so far - soap can’t be that much harder. ;)
And, if, you know, that milk ‘spoils’ on me and ends up as cheese - who’ll be the wiser? Only you guys, LOL! :)
