Meet Boss Lady 👑🐄

Every herd has one… and at Dales Dairies, she’s the undisputed queen of the field.

Meet Boss Lady: the matriarch of our milking herd and the cow who keeps everyone else in order! 😄

When Boss Lady comes striding through the field with her head tilted to one side, the rest of the herd know exactly what to do - part ways and let her through. No arguments. No delays. Just respect for the boss! 👀

Her status mostly comes down to one thing: size. She’s one impressive lady, and apparently even Barry the Bull takes notice of her authority (more about Barry in a future post…). 🐂😂

Boss Lady is part of our herd of around 450 cows, grazing across 500 acres of beautiful Yorkshire countryside, including meadows, riverside pasture, woodland and limestone grazing land. 🌿

Just a heads up…

A few of you may have come across early deliveries this week on your doorsteps. It’s just while snow and ice are forecasted, I’d rather be a day early than a day late.

Many thanks for understanding and stay safe on those icy 🥶 paths.

Christina ☺️
