milk

Our cows are milked two-three times a day, depending on the lactation period of the cow. Upon entering the milking parlor, each cow is inspected and sanitized by our accredited milkers, before attaching the milking machine to the udders. Milking time is dependent on the amount of milk each cow is producing, but on average takes about 5 minutes per cow. The machine we use mimics the action of a young calf by creating a pulsating vacuum around the teat, causing milk to be released from the udder. From the udder, the milk goes through a machine that eliminates any possible bacteria from the milk while still ensuring it is nutrient and protein-packed. From our farm, the milk is picked up within 48 hours of leaving the cow by refrigerated tankers where it is then redistributed by Dairy Famers of America to find a home for our milk.
