OUR COWS

GRASS FED COWS PRODUCE HIGHER QUALITY MILK

At Dakin Dairy, we know that grass-fed cows make all the difference. In fact, that’s why we prioritize the diet of our livestock. Plus, a healthy diet allows our cows to produce larger amounts of nutritious milk. We are proud to produce milk the way nature intended. Because we keep our process as organic as possible, our cows are able to produce healthier and tastier milk. 

First, we start with our cows’ diet. In fact, our local and sustainable dairy farm provides the perfect environment for our grass-fed cows. We apply our composted manure to over 250 acres of grasses. We use soil amended with compost to reduce our water usage. In addition, it reduces the need for fertilizer throughout our farm. Furthermore, we water our grass with both rain and nutrient-rich water recycled from our barns. Also, we cut our grass twice daily, keeping it fresh. This fresh grass is mixed with grains, minerals, and hay. It creates a well-balanced, nutritious salad for our cows. Because of this, our cows can happily enjoy a healthy custom diet.

MORE NUTRITIOUS MILK

We truly believe that happy, healthier cows produce better-quality milk. Because of this, the diet of our cows is monitored and maintained by nutritionist Dr. Rick Lundquist. This ensures that our grass-fed cows are receiving all the nutrients required for a well-balanced diet. Equally important, Dr. Lundquist ensures that our cows receive the vitamins and minerals that keep them healthy. The health of our cows is our number one priority. That’s why we go above and beyond to provide our cows with a safe, sustainable environment that allows them to prosper. 

We believe grass-fed cows are vital to the most nutritional milk. Fresh grass provides our cows with the best source of natural beta-carotene, vitamin D, and vitamin E. This is essential for both healthy cows and nutritional milk. Additionally, fresh grass is high in nature’s own cancer inhibitor, conjugated linoleic acids (CLA’s) – providing milk with enhanced levels of “healthy fats”. Grass-fed cows produce milk with a creamier texture and a fresh, sweet taste, with natural digestive benefits. A cow’s diet directly impacts the nutritional benefits of milk. Because of this, we keep our process as organic as possible.
