ABOUT OUR MILK
Milking cows demand a lot of feed nutrients to support milk production. Conventional milk cows consume roughly half of their diet from forages such as alfalfa hay, grass silage or pasture. Farmers get their cows into pasture and grass fields to satisfy their dietary needs. Given the wet weather of the Pacific Northwest, winter months often make it difficult for the cows to spend long periods outside due to heavy mud, but many farms get them to the rotating fields – weather permitting.
The heavy grazing periods are in the early spring and often extend into the summer months by field irrigation. In warm summer months, although animals get to the fields, the lack of moisture slows grass growth and farmers must rely on silage or high protein meals to provide the animals with adequate nutrition.

GENERAL INFORMATION
When cooking with butter, remember that it has a very low burning point – about 300 degrees – so keep the burner on low.
Storage Instructions: At room temp, the shelf life of butter is very short, even when covered in a butter dish. So unless you’re going through it very quickly, keep your butter wrapped in the fridge. Refrigerated butter will keep for up to four months. You can also freeze it for up to a year.
