JUNEAU, Alaska (May 24, 2021) – Last Wednesday, the Alaska Senate gave final approval to a bill that would legalize herd share agreements for the distribution of raw milk in the state.

Under the law, any individual willing to pay another individual for the upkeep of milk-producing livestock would also be able to share raw milk and other things produced from the raw milk of those shared animals.
