To Anonymous: about the soy fed to otherwise grass fed cows. In factory farms, cows are given all sorts of grain feed which is not in their best interest. So their judgement is fine IF they are given a choice, but if not, they seem to eat whatever is fed them.So my question remains. Is any soy (which is all GMO from what I understand, qualify for wholesome, organic, raw milk. Or should I find a source that doesn't feed the soy to their raw milk cows?

Elizabeth, There is a big difference, I think, from forcing cows (or anyone else) to eat just soy or whatever, and allowing them to eat soy in a predominantly grass environment. If the substance is not addictive, I would be inclined to trust the cow to know what it needs.
I could be wrong.

Soy and raw by: Elizsbeth
I just found out that the farm where I get my raw milk, uses soy as a feed for their cows. What does anybody think of this. They are grass fed but this bothers me. Is it a standard practice with raw, organic milk?
