For Our Troops......

Welcome!

Either you're searching for some information and stumbled across here, or already know me and are interested in what I/we do. :)

The dairy cow doesn’t ask for much, but she asks every day.
People who are creating wealth with a cow either are hardworking and reliable or get that way in a hurry. This is the way it has been for a very long time.
--Joann Grohman (Author of Keeping a Family Cow)


There are three kinds of people in this world:
Those who watch things happen,
Those who Make things happen,
or you can wonder what the hell happened.
--Captain Phil Harris (RIP)



A few of words of wisdom I have come across:


Choose not to just live within your means, but live within your needs.


If you don't want to be responsible for or defend yourself, please don't expect others to do it for you.

(My translation: Buck up and learn some skills!)


Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the AmericanGovernment take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian."--Henry Ford

**~*~**Spread the word!**~*~**

Small Family Farms need our help when ludicrous charges have come up against them. Maybe someday it could be one of us on this "make an example out of you" chopping block.

Pushing back (via donations, interviews, getting the word out, etc) and standing up for what we believe in will send a clear message that we refuse to just roll over and give up!

When we know what we're fighting for, we fight harder--Sgt . Gary Stein (USMC)

THANK YOU!!!

Rant about Milk/Food for Thought

Milk--it's a real honest-to-goodness food. It never ceases to amaze me how freaked out people get about raw (real) milk. ITS NOT SCARY when you KNOW where your milk comes from and who 'harvested' it!!!
C'mon folks, try your hardest to know where your food comes from! Support yourself first--grow/harvest/preserve what you can. Support Local Growers of meat, milk, eggs, produce, fruit, etc. That is why they are there--the support goes away, they go away. Pretty simple, really.

OK, onto what I was going to talk about. I ran across these photos today--amazing. I will warn you--not for the squeamish. They are real photos of bovine innards. It's a comparison of one calf fed raw (real) milk and one raised on store-bought (pasteurized and homogenized) milk. I don't care how 'unscientific' the test was--the proof is in the photos of the calves. The old adage of "you are what you eat" comes ever so true here!

And more for your reading pleasure--Mark McAfee once again 'hits home' (very hard--right between the eyes) about his thoughts on raw milk. A thought-provoking but true article. I like Mark because he pulls no punches, writes truthfully AND has his own dairy. (The state of CA has tried to shut him down more than once, this man knows his stuff, and he lives and does what he talks about.)
