Home is where the herd is
We started our herd in April, 2018 with four Jersey calves from Astoria, Oregon. They came from a grazing dairy that sought out New Zealand and A2A2 genetics. Plus, Virginia worked on that farm helping raise calves, and so we knew they were coming from a great place. Here is a YouTube video of picking them up: Our Long Journey to Getting Dairy Calves.

Calves are raised with their cows. We all seem happier this way.
Here is our version of the classic Hoard’s Dairyman sign in our parlor.
