The cow shares thing might be legal but because it is the only legal way to side step the multi billion dollar quota system here in Canada the Dairy Farmers of Canada are pushing the public health danger agenda. Protectign thos multi billions in quota is the real issue here. They might try selling cosmetic milk but the govt will insist they denature it so it can't be drunk. Besides they just opened another door to more govt. regulation! Good luck to them, they're gonna need it.

This is why I take no risks. I do not ever let anyone on my property. I also don't drive anywhere, as I can be sued if I cause an accident. Stay home, stay in the house, don't take risks.

I have learned at this site that there are people dropping dead everywhere every day from raw milk, so I got rid of my milk cow. Instead, like most Americans, I can drink safe soda pop all day long.

Now I can stay indoors and be more safe, spending many more hours typing on a computer. Though I have heard that inactivity is contributing to an obesity epidemic, leading to more diabetes and death. But certainly fewer deaths than those from raw milk.

Know your being facetious... :happy0035:

I tend to live by.... “Believe me! The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously!” Friedrich Nietzsche

As the owner of a small dairy goat herd, I'm not afraid of risks for myself, but I am deadly aware of the financial risks involved. I like high rewards for high risks... for me to risk my homestead, I'd have to be gaining a humongous reward, not pennies, but megabucks. You don't gamble 7 figures for one figure, just doesn't make sense. All it takes is one libelous perceived injured ---------- for a jury to feel sorry for them, and possibly lose it all.

But anyone that's willing and ready to risk the sum total of their lives, as comfortable as it may be, in exchange for a temporary piddling amount of fiat currency, and risk living with relatives (or better, at least for me, sleeping under a bridge), then I say, go for it.
