[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1847242, member: 42463"] I think you are smart for asking about growing pork on milk... We bought half a processed hog a couple of years ago as one of my SIL called and was excited about having one offered to her. She was especially interested as the people offering it told her how excellent the meat would be because the pig was raised on milk. But what was in the package was a lot of very fatty meat with little flavor. The fat was so thick that we trimmed close to half of what was packaged before we cooked it. It's my only experience with milk fed pork, so maybe not the average experience, but I will never buy pork that is milk fed again. And I'm sure milk can be fed at appropriate amounts, and this one was probably overfed milk and not fed what it needed to be a good quality product. I have no idea where that limit is defined.
