Turns out this heifer calf is also an A2/A2 milk producer โ˜€๏ธ

Since her mom is Sunshine, we decided to name her Ray, like a little ray of sun ๐ŸŒž 

Itโ€™ll be 2 years before this girl is a dairy cow ๐Ÿฎ Sheโ€™ll be bred next year, then will have a ~9 month gestation before calving & being added to our lactating line!

It always takes 2 of us to start moving the pastured broilers ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐ŸŒพ 1 person pulls the cage from the front, the other chases the chicks from the back ๐Ÿ“

Eventually, the chickens learn that running forward means fresh grass & new bugs & they happily jump forward! ๐ŸŒฑ

Whatโ€™s the deal with A2/A2 milk?? ๐Ÿฅ›๐Ÿฅ›

Many years ago, there was a mutation in dairy cattle & some started producing the A1 protein. This varied from other mammals, who produce only the A2 protein (think goat or human milk) ๐Ÿค”

Many folks who consume conventional milk & cheese may find they have a dairy intolerance. For some- itโ€™s truly the lactose thatโ€™s the problem ๐Ÿฅบ for others, it might simply be the A1 protein!!

Iโ€™ve heard many stories from folks that have issues digesting conventional dairy, but can successfully consume A2/A2 milk ๐ŸŽ‰

Do you have troubles digesting milk??
