Dairy - Cows Introduction
Hello, I'm Katie, Brittany's friend from college. I milk 4 jersey cows for raw milk and cheesemaking, on my family farm in Maine. Our aim is to raise organic jersey and jersey-cross calves on their mothers milk, eventually amassing a herd of 20 or so, for shipping organic milk, or a small independant dairy-- we'll see how things work out. But for now, jerseys make a great family cow, for sure. You wanna talk cows?
