URGENT 4/20/15: HB 245 tied in Senate [25-25] revote [Ripley switched to YES but Wolken switched to NO]
MT-RawMilk-facebook2

The Montana Raw Milk Bill (HB 245) aims to exempt small dairy herds [i.e., herds of lactating animals no more than 7 cows or 15 goats or 15 sheep] from the state prohibition on raw milk sales; exempted dairies with a permit may sell on-farm, direct to the consumer. HB 245 would also recognize the legality of herdshare arrangements and exempt them from regulation.

Sign this EMAIL petition:
I urge you to vote YES on the Raw Milk Bill [HB 245], to support property rights by recognizing the legality of herdshare arrangements and right of consumer choice by allowing access to raw milk via the small dairy herd exemption.
