I need a source for 6 1/2 inch milk strainer pads. I have been useing Kendalls bought at a local farm supply store which has closed it's doors.
I would perfer a Michigan location, but as they say any port in a storm.

You did post it and had 3 responses. You can order online at Jefferslivestock.com or Hoeggar (sp) goat supply. Jeffers is cheaper and I know they ship the same day, don't know about hoeggar. I don't remember what the third responder said, sorry.
You can also just go online at jeffers or hoeggar, see what you want and call in the order if you're more comfortable with that.
Or you can do what we did one time when we ran out of pads and just go to using white hankies to strain with. Wash them out good and hang to dry after you use them or they get smelly. Much cheaper, and no chemicals get in your milk that way.

I used to milk cows. I sold to Dean foods. The trucking company for Liberty Dairy in Evart is Thompson's Milk Hauling. I used to buy those small filter discs from them. Here is the phone number:231-734-5799
