We bought 3 types of butter recently because I want you to see the difference in color based on the cow’s diet. This is important because there are some loud voices in conventional agriculture that say “calories are calories”, doesn’t matter whether the cow eats donuts or grass. The focus is on volume and production, not on nutritional benefits for the cow and thereby the human.
It’s obvious looking at these three types of butter that more fresh grass equals a darker colored butter. So what does that mean? The darker yellow means more beta carotene. Beta carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, and supports vision along with immune function. I have also read that it protects skin from oxidative stress. Additionally, more fresh grass translates into more vitamin K2 in the butter. K2 is very important for our body’s ability to absorb calcium into bones and teeth, so it does not deposit in soft tissue or arteries.
It’s still important to know your farmer because “Big Food” has caught onto consumer interest and has ways to modify color without grass.
So what color is your butter?
This is also why I don’t just take any old fish oil. The fermented cod liver oil is mixed with concentrated butter oil from cows on Spring grass. This supplies the K2 I mentioned. It helps our body utilize the benefits of the cod liver oil, which is fermented not high-heat processed like many fish oils.

Sassy takes smaller bites now that she is 33 but she still has all her teeth! Sundae (our milk goat) only has teeth on the bottom jaw (normal for goats) so she typically loses the apple eating contest.
Speaking of teeth, I used to get cavities all the time. I was likely vitamin D deficient. But I may have been vitamin K deficient as well. Did you know that you need vitamin K2 to absorb vitamin D3 into your bones? I started taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts and my problem swiftly ended. That was 15 years ago but I still take it today. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
Carla the miracle chicken was crafting up a storm this morning while also responsibly using the paper towel port-a-potty. We were using a diaper but her tail feathers got in the way.

They say to “lift heavy” in your 40s. Nothing like 100 lbs hay bales and 50 lbs feed bags for a “functional fitness” workout.

Therapist Reacts to RFK'S AVOIDABLE Measles OUTBREAK! | They Ignore All Warnings! - YouTube
I disagree with the Therapist, Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. and Anthony Stephen Fauci. Here AGAIN we see RFK Jr. showing himself to be a big hypocrite. I've said it before and I say it again and again and again. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. is not your friend. You are given fake heroes to cheer. Who seem to do and say what you want. But are frauds.
Trust God, not man.
