Family Milk Cow 101 (Online Only)

Know What To Do First

We've reviewed much of the information available online and we've adapted the class to help you sort through the good and the bad.  All of our information comes from trial and error over the past decade and can save you time and money. We'll also talk about choosing the right cow. Breeds are important, and you'll learn which are best for milking and the healthiest overall.  We also cover the differences between milk cows vs beef cows.

Milk At Your Homestead

Because having milk at home is the main goal, we share how much milk a cow can produce for your family over time.  We're passionate about raw milk, having consumed it ourselves for nearly a decade, so we'll also cover probiotics and their possible health benefits for your family’s health. We'll also cover some of the other products like raw milk cheese that you can create with your milk.

In this course, you’ll see our real cows, real equipment, and a practical demonstrations of what we've learned.  All you need is a desire to learn.

Join us on our journey at Earnest Roots Farm and take the first step toward owning and milking your own cow by purchasing this course.
