Raw milk, same morning
Most highland milk still leaves the farm raw, in a can, the morning it is drawn. Cooling and a clean pail decide the next step.

Come in the morning, or agree a collection. Milk from the herd in Njombe.

A morning routine
Cattle kept for milk need a routine: water, feed, milking at the same hours, and a clean pail or can. Highland nights are cool. That helps milk if the keeping is serious. It does not replace hygiene.

Raw milk, same morning
Most highland milk still leaves the farm raw, in a can, the morning it is drawn. Processors and hotels that take a regular line care about cooling, cleanliness of the pail, and whether water has been added.

A route, not a single litre
A one-off can and a daily morning collection are different products. Regular buyers price the same hour, from the same herd. People in town buy what is left that day.

What shows up in the bucket
Mastitis, ticks, and a gap in feed all thin or spoil the milk. Cool Njombe nights help. They do not replace a clean can or a herd milked at the same hours.
