Summary: First, I respond to a few listener comments and questions: * Is cholesterol bad for us? * Can you consolidate all your references into a single list? * Should only those living on farms drink raw milk? Is a cow in your future? Things to consider: * Lifestyle shift: life becomes more centered around the home. * Breed: why a Jersey is an ideal family cow * How many cows? * Machine or hand milking? * Equipment and cost: * Fencing * Hay and Straw * Stanchion * Buckets, hay feeder, shovel and wheelbarrow, water source and drinking containers * Other things needed: truck and shelter, tractor... * Your cow economy References: * Don Miller, M.D., Keeping Us Sick, Stupid, and Broke * Health Benefits of a Low-Carbohydrate, High-Saturated-Fat Diet * The Weston A.
