Herd Management:
Q. How do you ensure your cows don’t carry any diseases or illnesses?
A. Our cows are tested TB, Johnes, and Q. Fever. We spend time with each cow twice a day at minimum! This means twice a day we are assessing them for any behaviors or signs that point towards illness or injury. When each cow is milked, we check each quarter for any hardness, fever, or redness. We also strip each quarter out so we are able to inspect the milk itself before our equipment ever touches them. Cows are also tested with mastitis indicator strips regularly. Any cow that shows any sign of illness or injury is removed from the milking string until they are cleared.
Q. Do you use antibiotics or hormones?
A. We never use hormones for milk production. However, we do use antibiotics when necessary to clear an illness. Treated cows are always removed from the milk string immediately. Milk is tested daily until there are zero traces of antibiotic residue before the cow is returned back to the milk string.

Diet:
Q. What is your herd fed?
A. Our girls work hard and require a diet that is fit for a king! Our motto is "No Soy, No Corn, No Crap, No Fillers." Every macro and micro-nutrient is balanced by our nutritionist down to the last microgram. They have access to pasture but due to the never ending drought we do provide free choice alfalfa and/or beardless wheat depending on the stage of lactation. Then each of our girls receives an alfalfa based feed that consists of - Alfalfa, Rice Bran, Coconut Meal, Flaxseed, Oats, Barley, Whole Cottonseed, and vit/mineral mix. Every ingredient is carefully chosen to keep our cows healthy and provide the healthiest milk possible!
Q. Are your animals Grass-Fed?
A. No, our cows do not qualify as "grass fed" due to the feed they receive on the milk string. You can’t have healthy milk if your cows aren’t healthy themselves. Though we don’t push for production, our girls are still very hard workers and produce plenty of milk. Unfortunately, dairy cows will sometimes risk their body condition in order to keep producing that milk and the health of our cows means more to us than a grass-fed label ever will. This is why we choose the high quality feed that we do! Our girls aren’t just here for dairy, they are truly part of our family!
Q. Is the diet Non GMO?
A. We reached out to the makers of our feed and they can’t be 100% certain. Though we try to use as many certified Non GMO and organic ingredients as possible.
Q. Is your milk A2?
A. Yes! All our cows have been DNA tested and are A2/A2!

Milk Procedures:
Q. What procedures do you use while milking?
A. Every cows udder is washed and sanitized with a chlorhexidine solution before milking. Cows are milked by machine so everything from the teat to the tank is clean and sanitized. Milk is filtered as it runs through the lines into the fully enclosed tank. Once the inflations are removed, the teats are dipped into an iodine post dip that provides a disinfectant as well as a barrier that protects against any debris or germs.
Q. What are your milk handling procedures?
A. My milk machine is cleaned and sanitized before and after each milking. Teats, jars, and tank are all also sanitized. This ensures everything the milk touches is sterile and ready for use! Milk is collected via milk machine, filtered with an inline filter, then separated into individual jars, and flash cooled immediately!
