Here’s a question: We just lost the cowshare we used to belong to – the man decided to sell his cow. We just managed to get hold of 2 gallons from another dairyman, but it appears that he waters down his milk in the tank.
This milk was a one time deal only, the man will not sell to individuals on a regular basis. But is there any way we can get rid of the excess water? We cannot get raw cream to add, and my husband does not want to use the homogenized stuff from the store. Do we grin and bear it, or can this milk be fixed?

Guys, can I ask you a slightly off-topic question? As a milk drinkers, which milk is more beneficial: that of a cow or goat?

Thank you kindly.

I received this comment from someone who would like to share anonymously:

Wardeh,

I want you to know how much I appreciate your posts regarding The Devil in the Milk and your Nourishing Traditions practices as well. I purchased both books a few weeks ago…at the same time I discovered my son has Aspergers. I have found a good source of A2 milk. The changes in my son’s personality are astounding!!! We are also in the process of switching to Nourishing Traditions “way of life” (I will never call it a diet!) and I believe my whole family is benefiting tremendously. (I’ve lost 8 pounds in a little over a week! I’m not claiming that it will do this for anyone else, but my diet was so bad, and I’m so overweight…when you put only good things in…eventually all that bad stuff has to go somewhere.)

My son also suffers from severe psoriasis and that seems to be abating also. We’ve been struggling with this for 6 years! I’m not willing to take any more steps backwards….but I DO want you to know that I believe a combination of Nourishing Traditions and A2 raw pasture-fed milk is the key to our recent health improvements.

I LOVE your site and cannot wait to get started with your ecourse.

Isn’t that AMAZING!!!!?????

Yvonne, I don’t know – but that’s interesting and I’d like to find out. I’m happy you’re drinking the good stuff.

Hi Wardeh,
I thought this incredible! I am able to buy jersey cows milk, no problem, but you talk of the Holstein breed of cow. Here in the UK we mostly have Friesian breed of cow. Is this the same as Holstein? I know that sometimes we can have different names for the same thing both sides of the Atlantic

I am now buying the ‘proper stuff’ Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. Bless you!

Kara, I was going to follow up with this post soon, based on what I just read in the WAPF Wise Traditions journal – just got the most recent issue today. Someone wrote a letter to the editor and basically said, “Now what do we do?” because they were not sure their milk was A2. I wrote up there in my post that my family would never drink Holstein milk, which was pretty strong. But perhaps not as balanced as it should be. I’m not backing off from my desire for us to have A2 milk. But I can definitely see more of the picture now. Anyway, in response to that person’s question, here’s what the editor said:

“Raw whole milk from pasture-fed cows is safe and wholesome for most people. The significance of the A2 findings is that it may explain why some people do not do well even on this kind of milk – and why some people do better on goat milk. We are not suggesting that farmers and consumers worry about whether their milk is A2 or A1. What we are suggesting is that those who have trouble with raw cow’s milk seek out and try A2 milk, or switch to goat milk. We also suggest that pure A2 milk may be the answer for those with very serious conditions like autism. We predict that over the years, A2 milk will become more and more available, perhaps eventually the only type of milk available. But this transformation will be gradual and will take a long time. Meanwhile, we don’t want farmers to worry about their current herd, nor consumers to worry about the milk they’re drinking if it agrees with them.”

To answer your question about what we feed our goats. They get pasture access 24/7. They have quality organic alfalfa hay available at all times in the barn. At milking, we give them a small amount of whole, local, natural oats and sunflower seeds (the latter is not organic, can’t find any that is). Not very much and it depends on their size and milk yield. It sounds to me like those goats are getting a good diet, if not organic. Do you think you have any issues with the Holstein milk?
