Animals You Should Never Milk in Montana

Growing up, I used to love milk. My brother and I would drink milk like water no matter what the circumstances were.

Back then, I probably would've chugged a huge cup of milk and called it a day.

In adulthood, I haven't dabbled in milk as much. It was only recently I fell in love with milk again when my wife got me hooked onto raw milk sold at dairy shops. If you've never had fresh, cold, raw milk from a dairy shop, you're missing out.
