Kevyn I don't think you owe me an apology, but thank you none the less.
In the last incident they had to hold production till test results
came in but that was a very short space of time;they were mainly
tested for E.coli O157:H7 as was Wagon Creek Creamery; both dairies
were clean- their milk was not contaminated.
Grassfed cows have the wrong body ph to grow this strain of bacteria;
E. coli O157:H7 is found in the intestine,manure and wastewater runoff
of grain fed, confinement cows and factory farm operations. Salmonella
on eggs is a similar story as the bacteria is rarely found on
pastured eggs but can be rampant in filthy,overcrowded chicken houses..
But I feel everyone needs to stop talking about this particular
incident before this story gets out of hand and blows up into a real
problem which could jeopardize George's business. The truth is this
child's illness is not the reason for their decision, they simply need
the milk for cheese..and knowing George, I would not be surprised if
they start selling RM at the dairy a few weeks down the road.

the milk caused this child's illness, i did not mean to slander or

have had to go through this before and it is very painful for them. i
hope this does not cause the same kind of trouble they had before, the
incident you mentioned, where they had to stop their milk sales and
cheese production.
