Ayrshires, not the highest yielders
They give a third less than a Holstein and about four per cent butterfat. That is why the cream sits on top of the bottle, and it is also why the milk costs what it does.
132 Ayrshires · milked twice a day since 1954

How we milk
They give a third less than a Holstein and about four per cent butterfat. That is why the cream sits on top of the bottle, and it is also why the milk costs what it does.
We fill it after the morning milking and again at four. On a hot Saturday it goes by lunchtime and the shutter comes down. We would rather turn people away than buy milk in and call it ours.
A crate of glass costs us more than plastic every single week once you count the washer, the breakages and the diesel. Fifty pence back on every one you return.
Tuesdays and Fridays, and only as far as we can get back before the afternoon milking. We say no to doorstep orders most weeks and we would rather do that than be late for the cows.
“My youngest will not drink shop milk now, which is a nuisance on holiday. We started with two litres a week and there is a four pint and a butter on the step every Friday.”
