...And That's No Bull!!

On Mother's Day we offered our gratitude to the "Moms" on The Farm for the wonderful life-sustaining milk they provide, but Hey! It's Father's Day. Let's give some credit to the Bulls!

Life for the bulls here at Traders Point Creamery is pretty easy.  Weighing in at over 1000 pounds, they spend their days out on the pasture mixing with the "Girls", while eating over 100 pounds of grass each day and keeping the herd under control. While a mother cow contributes by producing 1 offspring a year, a bull will sire 50 to 60 calves in one year! 

Thanks to the traits passed along by these Fathers, we continue to grow our herd of Brown Swiss noted for their longevity and ability to reproduce longer than other breeds, their gentle nature, and their quality milk high in protein and beneficial fats.

The role of the Brown Swiss Bull is not to be overlooked...and that's No Bull!!
