Milligan Dairy Farm is a 5th generation, medium sized, family owned farm. We market our milk through National Farmers Organization, who tests our milk daily for bacteria, antibiotic residue, and somatic cell counts. We milk approximately 9 Jersey, Brown Swiss, Milking Shorthorn, and Ayrshire cows on our farm. Our cow share program enables people to re
ap the benefits of owning a cow and receiving the milk from that cow, without the hassles of taking care of and milking a cow on a daily basis. Knowing how much we love our milk, we are excited to be able to share it with others. Our farm consists of 800 acres that we use to pasture, and raise feed, for our cows. Natural fertilizer (cow manure) is spread on those fields. We do not use hormones, rBST, or antibiotic feeds. We treat our animals like we would our family. Probiotics are used on a regular basis and antibiotics for emergency and life threatening illnesses only. If we do have to use antibiotics the milk must test clean before we allow it back in the tank for human consumption. We treat all our cows the same whether they be ours or belong to others via cow shares. We utilize a veterinarian on the farm as needed. Our cows live in a free stall barn when they are not on pasture, and are milked twice a day. A free stall barn allows a cow to move around freely, eating or resting when they want to. They always have fresh water, and go out on pasture during the summer, weather permitting. The actual cost to you would be a onetime fee of $75 to purchase a cow share, and then $30 a month to care for your cow. It may be paid annually or monthly and can be paid in person or online at our website. Lucinda Milligan
