A PMA is simply a form of a Private Association. A Private Membership Association (“PMA”) is men and woman collectively asserting and standing upon their rights to determine what devices, products, procedures, or services will be utilized by them. The Association is protected by the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, it is outside the jurisdiction and authority of Federal and State Agencies and Authorities. A PMA is like a private family (PMA creator = the head of the family; PMA members = family members). Just like in a close family, what is communicated or happens inside a family’s private home, among only family members are private matters generally immune from and not subject to censorship/control by any administrative agency of any government. PMAs have an established history and maintain a significant and unique standing in law; they are generally immune from most, if not all, state and federal Public Laws. Why are they immune from public laws? They are private, not public.
The cows are mostly grazed in the pastures. During Texas draughts, they receive fresh horse quality coastal hay. During milking, they receive a small treat of molasses or a small amounts of dairy ration to keep their energy levels up. Dairy cows are designed to produce large volumes of milk and they must receive adequate fiber and energy to keep up with milk production.
The cows are milked in an automatic milking parlor that is self contained and sealed. The cows come to the milking parlor on their own when we call them. Their udders are cleaned and sanitized with iodine. Initial batch of milk is stripped and screened. Then the milking units are attached to milk the cows. The milk flows through a sanitized and disinfected stainless steel pipeline into a cooling tank, where it is flash cooled from 100F to 34F, helping increase shelf life. Once the milking is complete, the cow udders receive an application of udder mint and iodine and then they are released back into the field. Then, the automatic pipeline washer is activated, where it runs through three cycles: initial rinse, hot water (180F) detergent cycle, and an acid cycle to completely sanitize the lines. Finally the cooling tank is washed and sanitized, the parlor is cleaned and milking is complete.
