Our Dairy Cows

We are currently milking 120 Friesian cows from our total herd of 160.  The remaining 40 cows are our "dry cows".

Generally speaking our milking cows have a calf once a year.  Two months before they are due to be served or put into calf they have a break, they become a "dry cow" which means they don't produce milk.  

Tio is our head herdsman (pictured to the right) and milks twice a day here at Eastbrook.  Our milk goes to Yeo Valley Organic via OMSCO.
