Maine cheese was well represented at the recent Inaugural Festivities for Maine’s new governor. State of Maine Cheese Co. and Pineland Farms Creamery cheeses and spreads were offered on the “crudités” tables throughout the Augusta Civic Center amid the music and celebration of our state’s first female governor being sworn in.

We will spend the day reviewing the biosynthesis of milk and udder anatomy. We will go over managed milking guidelines, milk storage, transport and evaluating milk quality. Specifically, we will cover the handling of milk from the animal to the container to maintain high quality. We will go over different milking systems and the tenets of cleaning and sanitizing milk handling equipment highlighting equipment areas for special consideration. We will finish the day reviewing lab reports, what they mean and goals for bacteria, somatic cells and adulterants. This will be a very full day of interactive discussions.
