Nutrition

• 5 different rations made up of a combination of corn or corn silage and different varieties of hay, plant-based proteins and vitamins and minerals

• Each ration is specific to cow’s requirements for the amount of milk she is producing

• Cows are fed once per day which will last them 24 hours

 

Cow Comfort

• Cows live in free stall barns that are climate controlled to ensure maximum comfort

• Cows lay on sand to keep them clean and help keep them cool or warm depending on time of year

• Cows are free to roam about, eat, drink, sleep and chat with their other cow friends
