Farm produces non-violent milk

An Australian farm is laying claim to producing the country's only non-violent milk, the Gold Coast Bulletin reported.

Workers on New Govardhana farm in Queensland do not use dogs to round up cattle, machines for milking or send cows to slaughter.

One of the 80 Hare Krishna devotees who live on the farm, Vrindavana Sevika Devi Dasi said milk from the cows, known as ahimsa milk, was much creamier and sweeter than normal milk because of the treatment of the herd.

She said the cows were hand milked and the faith's followers wanted to show the dairy industry a positive alternative.
