[AT] Restriction on selling raw milk...JD "B"

[charlie hill]

Ralph every dairy barn I ever remember going in (not really that many but a 
few) had barn cats and they always seemed to hang around the person milking 
in hopes of getting a squirt.
I know my grandfathers dairy barn had plenty of cats.  I never saw any of 
them being fed except for mice and birds they killed and bad milk that was 
poured out for them.

Back when we milked cows, the barn cats drank milk twice a day every day
of their lives and never seemed to suffer any ill effects. Lactose
intolerant? I doubt it.
