Meet the herd
This is their About Page. This "fun space" is a great opportunity to give a full background on who each cow is, what they do and what I love about them.
Meet The Girls
JOLENE
The OG milk cow. Purchased in 2020 just a few days after having her first calf, Jolene was the start of it all! She is a big Milking Shorthorn and is all business. She takes her job as head milk cow very seriously.
DOLLY
Dolly is a Jersey and was purchased right after we moved onto our property. She was in her first lactation at the time. She's the sweetest girl and loves being a mom, even to calves that aren't hers. She is the best cow and as gentle as they come.
GINNY
Ginny was purchased in the summer of 2022 and bred to have a purebred jersey heifer calf for that fall, Gale. She is from the same place as Hope & Dolly. Ginny is about as gentle and mellow as they come, we love her a lot.
HOPE
Hope was purchased just before Ginny in 2022 and is also jersey. Like Dolly, she loves her babies and is our best nurse cow. She has which spots in her coat, has a beautiful udder and produces a ton of delicious, creamy milk.
BRI
Bri is the 2022 daughter of Jolene. Half milking shorthorn, half red angus - I hope to turn Bri into another nurse cow next summer after she has her first calf. She is bred to a hereford bull and due May 2024.
BETTY, HAZEL & GALE
The three 2023 heifers! Betty is the 2023 daughter of Jolene and is a full sister to Bri. Hazel was purchased from a good friend and is 1/2 jersey, 1/2 shorthorn. Gale is the 2023 daughter of Ginny and is jersey! All 3 girls will be bred for 2025 calves, next summer!
