We were originally beef cattle farmers up until 2020 when our daughter showed an interest in dairy, so we had a go and fell totally in love with the whole process, the bond that is developed between us and the dairy cow herd is a unique relationship which is totally different to raising a beef herd, so our journey began.
All our dairy cow's have names with very individual personalities to match, our main girls are:
Cilla Very gentle soul with great polite manners, will always give you a kiss once she has finished milking before she leaves the parlour, Cilla's daughter is Millie.
Jean Big gentle giant who is everyone's friend within the herd, kind, gentle but firm
Blossom Always looking very girlie like with her neatly brushed fringe, she loves snacks!
Rosie Calm and so gentle, likes to be everyone's friend
Posie Keeps her-self to her-self and is Rosie's best friend
Mavis Just lovely but must have 3 scoops of feed when milking or she will be very much put out with us
Blanche Perfect in every way and loves a little back massage
New Girls who have joined us this year
Lola Loves coming into the parlour for her snacks when finished eating she removes the feed bin and places it on the floor
Poly Always so excited to come into the parlour with a hop skip and jump every day
Shirley Stands and waits to be called into the parlour will never push so polite
Luna Absolutely mad with excitement every time
Dolly Big gentle girl who will not leave the parlour until she has finished eating every last feed pellet
