Why are we shipping everything in?

Why don't we just bring the dairy in?

into the city next to the distillery, and we'll just go from one building to the next and give it to them.

Well, the problem was, one, no nutritional value left in the grains that the cows were eating.

The cows were kept indoors, which is ripe for sanitation issues.

Also in that era, there was no closed systems.

There was poor refrigeration as well.

And over time, now,

Our milk, we like to see it around 36 degrees.

And then we have a closed milking system, right?

So the milk never actually touches the air until it's getting bottled or you open the cap for the first time.

So listeria is a groundwater issue.

And we get tested very, well, the health department comes out once a year and tests our groundwater.

So that gets tested on a periodic basis.

And then the biggest concern that people have with raw milk is E. coli.

And the problem with the feline is you have thousands of cows in one spot.

It's very easy for it to transmit.

So when it goes to slaughter, one bad cow can get everywhere just by hands moving.

We're a single herd.

These are all of our cows.
