I don't know, MKAC. I tried the cheese in VT because I was so impressed with the farm. But no matter how humane...cows have to keep being impregnated to give milk. They aren't impregnated naturally. (that's a big one for me). The calves are often killed for veal (if they're male).

So I guess my idea of humane kind of differs from others. I do respect honest hard working farmers though...big time. (H was raised on a dairy farm).
