I want to buy ethical milk products. And I am prepared to pay a price reflecting the additional costs involved in kinder production methods.

I don’t know if they’re available in your area, but the people who run Schulz Organic are also ethical dairy farmers, though they do send (some of) their cows to slaughter when they are no longer able to produce. My local area is a major dairy farming zone and there’s tremendous differences between the ways individual farms treat their animals – and everyone knows who does what. I really hope there’s a market for the farmers who are ethical, (and organic and biodynamic) in the future, because right now, their milk sells for just the same price as those who treat their herd far worse.
Organic is a good start.
Agreed. Also, an ethical dairy alternative to soy yoghurt is sorely needed.
I can’t help thinking of ethical dairy as a feminist issue. Anthropomorphic, perhaps, but still: cows kept constantly pregnant, separated from their young, their usefulness determined by their fertility, so that once they are too old / tired / sick to carry offspring they become worthless and are killed for their unprofitability.
Like free-range eggs, I think there’d be a huge market once the message got out.
