From craiglist: Raw Goat/Cow Milk Shares/and animal use – $8 (Maxwell, NM )
Kuchan Ranch offers shares in its dairy goat herd. It is not legal to sell raw milk for human consumption, however, receiving raw milk through a share program as outlined in Senate Bill 05-0555 is legal.
Price per share $10.00. Shareholders may buy as many shares as they like, each share being a one time purchase. These shares may be sold back at any time. A monthy boarding fee of $30.00 per share provides for us to house, feed, milk and care for your portion of the herd. Each share will entiltle the shareholder to one gallon of milk per week. Boarding fees are due monthly, regardless of quantity of milk in your share.
Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing a share in our herd. We invite all potential shareholders to visit, meet the goats, and observe our feeding, milk handling and care practices.
We also provide Raw Goat and Raw cow milk for animals only (Not for human consumption) you do not need to purchase a share for milk for animals. Milk freezes well. $8.00 a gallon.
Next delivery date will be May 20th, to Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

How to Survive a Farm Raid
In light of the recent FDA raid on an Amish farmer, this information may be valuable to our farmers and herdshare owners. The Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund has a legal hotline available to you 24/7 if agents should appear at your door. Joining the Fund will help them continue to engage the FDA in the courts on our behalf.

SB 510 Alert
Now is the time to call your Senators, should you want to keep the FDA’s nose out of your refrigerator. See David Gumpert’s article on the subject.
Senate Bill 510
If passed, it would grant the FDA much broader powers to persecute raw milk farms. Perhaps it’s time to call your Senators.
