Question 1

i would like to know if all the goats to make this butter are pasture raised 90%+ of the time and grass fed/grass finished?

Accepted Answer

The goat's at Delamere Farm are housed and not pasture raised as illustrated by Delamere on their website... 
"We are often asked, ‘Do you let the goats roam outdoors?’ The simple answer is no. People sometimes struggle with this answer, after all we see sheep, cows in summer months and sometimes pigs roaming the countryside. Goats are different. What is right for one domesticated breed isn’t necessarily right for them all. It’s the welfare of the goats, not the convenience of the farmer that has made the decision to keep the goats’ housed. Goats have not evolved for the British climate. Their feet are designed for dry, rocky environments, not soft wet ground, which would leave feet open to infection and become a huge medical and welfare problem. Secondly, unlike sheep, goats don’t have oil in their coats to protect them from the wet and windy British weather, they are more at ease when housed."
Additionally, while specifics regarding feeding ratios are not made available, Delamere does a nice job of explaining the general feeding program for goats housed at Delamere Farm...
"Goats have a mischievous reputation and they certainly can be, but forget the idea of them eating everything from the washing to a prickly hedge. Given the right feed, they meticulously pick out all their favorite bits. They’re also browsers, not grazers, so could survive on rough scrub. A typical diet consists of silage, hay and straw with a blend of cereals to balance their nutrient intake. Perfect for delivering fresh milk that tastes great."
We hope this info helps!

Question 2

Is it kept cold during shipping or does it arrive warm?

Accepted Answer

We use coolant insulation, ice gel packs and dry ice. and we ship perishable products only strain days of the week to insure constant movement during shipping.

Question 3

How many do you get for $25.98?

Accepted Answer

I think it was only one because shipping is so high.

Question 4

is this from 100% grass- fed/ brush-fed goats?

Accepted Answer

It doesn't say on the label, but it's a UK company and I don't know what their requirements are.  You would need to ask them - google Delamere dairy.
