“Tale of two calves — one raised on raw milk and the other on pasteurized” story attracting a fresh resurgence of interest

From the stats page of the Bovine blog

A Tale of Two Calves, the report on an experiment carried out over several months at Glencolton farms, raising one calf on raw milk and the other on store-bought pasteurized milk has quite justifiably been the all-time most popular post on the Bovine blog, with a total tally of something over 17,000 hits.

Although it was published back in June of last year, the story has recently been attracting major interest, accounting for something like 1000 hits a day over the past two days. Somebody out there noticed it, and spread the word to their friends. Thank you to whoever that was!
