    Eric I thoroughly enjoy your content and i must admit I am ashamed of myself for ever complaining about the cost of a gallon of milk. Consumers worldwide need to realize the amount of work, time, money, and effort, required by farmers and dairymen, to produce the products we take for granted that just “appear” on our grocery shelves. I admire the compassion and care you show for your animals. Thank you!

      Isn't milk only ever like 2-3 bucks a gallon? If you get organic milk it can get up to 6-7 bucks but normal milk has never been expensive (I'm in CA)

      Errhka $3.50 to $5 a gallon, depending where you buy it and that's the problem. The farmer doesn't get much of that money.

    My father was a master butcher in two countries and later came to Toronto Canada and in his time was a top notch (I'm not just saying this because he was my dad) cattle buyer. He passed away in 1995. I can't imagine him today keeping track of cattle on a computer with bar codes and all the rest! In his day, the word computer was always preceded by one if not two swear words. It is best that he is gone as this new world would have killed him anyway. However, it would have been fun to watch ;). In the 60's and 70's the only documentation was a weigh ticket that was so messy it had to written by a doctor. 4H RWF 54c buyer(say CDM90), seller(Farmer or trucker) and the weight. (translation 4 heifers, red white face 54c/lb (live) and the weight in lbs. (done until the late 70's on a bar scale). The ticket had 4 copies and when balanced the weighman would squeeze grip on the slider which would imprint the weight on the ticket. Seems like a million years ago now.
