Greetings,
I am not a scientist, but I do know a legal raw milk dairy that is 100%
grass fed and they do not use any fancy genetics. They bought their cow
from the same commercial dairy that I bought mine from and she is now
100% grass fed. They are all Jersey cows. We do use alfalfa hay in
addition to quality grass and horse hay, but no grain. Their farm is
www.sandcreekfarm.net <http://www.sandcreekfarm.net/> It is probably
much easier to feed grain, but it is not necessary. Also, we do not use
chemicals. Lots of compost and compost tea gives real good hay.
Bright Blessings,
Kim
