MILKING SCHOOL DVDS FROM MISTY MORNING FARM

Misty Morning Farm wants to help others cultivate their own sustainable, chemical-free source of dairy products. Concerns about conventional farm practices led them to go in the opposite direction of other farms in many ways, and now they enjoy teaching others what they have learned. At Misty Morning Farm, they believe that your cow should be an asset, not a liability. Their complete Milking School DVD includes nearly six hours of informative lectures and demos. They include the information you need to buy, milk, and naturally care for your own Cud-Chewing Beauty Queen!

DVD 1 – Milking School Introduction
(Runtime: 2 hours, 18 minutes)
Disc 1 includes an interview with Dr. Paul Dettloff, the foremost American authority on the A1 vs. A2 mutation issue. In this DVD, Dettloff shares his perspective on:

• Demonstrations of giving a calf a shot, teaching the animal to lead, tubing, and more
