Are you looking for a family milk cow?
Here at Refuge of Liberty farm, we specialize in offering quality genetics in our family milk cows. We want to offer manageable sizes and milk production for the everyday homesteader. Each year we have several calves or cows for sale that may fit your needs as a family milk cow, for breeding (bull calves), or to fill your freezer (steers).
We currently have a waiting list for calves that we make our way through each year. Please email info@refugeofliberty.com to be added to our waiting list. Please let us know exactly what you’re looking for in the email.
Our milk cows are regularly handled, and most are trained to a lead and halter. We breed for efficient grass-genetics (or low-grain input), parasite resistance, longevity of life and production, manageable sizes, manageable milk producers, a2/a2 protein, dual-purpose (milk & beef), calm temperments. Our cows are naturally horned and will not come dehorned. We do not do testing of any kind before our cows leave our herd.
