Presenting Our Milk Cows
Life is kinda funny how we never know where we will go and what passions we will pursue. I find it extraordinary that a person can live in the city and by chance move to the country and find a passion that grows daily!
I have found my passion MILK COWS!
The learning curve has been steep but I hope to share all that I have learned with others and strive to breed the perfect family Jersey cow. Perhaps a cow that existed around the early 1900's.
A family milk cow does and has always played a vital role in providing nutrient dense food to her homestead.
SHE IS WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD!
Due to the amazing impact a milk cows brings to your homestead, I want to share the qualities I find important in finding your perfect family milk cow.
HEALTH
I Can't stress this enough. It is so important to test your dairy cows yearly and know their background.
Chances are you will drink raw milk and it is very important to know the status of your cows health BEFORE you drink her raw milk. Our herd is tested every May for the following dairy diseases:
TB (tubercolosis)
Bang's
BVD (bovine viral diarrhea)
Johne's
Q Fever
BLV (bovine leukosis virus)
She must be free from mastitis.
GENETICS
On this subject I don't necessarily mean the most popular American dairy genetics.
I PROMOTE AND PRACTICE GRASS-FED GENETICS AND DAIRYING!
Remember if you want to a grass-fed cow you must choose grass-fed genetics. If you want to feed grain then choose accordingly. We follow holistic management and strive to follow a Weston A. Price influenced diet, so for us our milk cow's level of nutrition is directly linked with our level of nutrition and health.
Our herd sire is "The Balladeer of Branched Oak Bruno" purchased from Ben Gotschall of Holt Creek Jerseys in Nebraska in 2012 and we have been very pleased with Bruno and his offspring.
To read more about grass-fed genetics and information about Bruno go to:holtcreekjerseys.com
We believe an "easy keeper type cow" is desirable for a family milk cow. Maintaining body condition while lactating on a grass-fed diet is very important to us.
We want to introduce you to the girls!
I will be adding more cows and information, but to start with here is:

Nickel is from one of our favorite cows named
Penny (funny name). Penny is one of our
cows milked for Cole's Creamery raw milk.
She is consistent, small statured, very agreeable
and enjoys being milked.
We have high hopes for Nickel!
