WHAT IS A COW/HERD SHARE?

Getting Started

It is illegal in Kentucky to buy or sell Raw Milk.

It is not illegal to consume Raw Milk from your own cow.
Our herd share program is just that, you buy a share of ownership of our herd of cows. Then you pay RSR
a fee for the board & labor to care for the animal and you get to drink the creamy milk.


The Rolling Springs Ranch dairy (RSR) is a very small family operation. We raise Jersey and Jersey cross cattle. They live a stress free life in Columbia KY on 21 acres of sumptuous orchard grass pasture. 

 

  •  We have staggered our calving to ensure we have a steady supply of milk available. In the event of any unforeseen circumstances, we may only have small quantities of milk available to each share owner, but only for a short period of time.

 

  • Our cows are milked once a day in the morning by the RSR family using vacuum surge equipment, a tried and true process used in the dairy industry for over 100 years.

  • Our animals and our pastures are as natural as possible but we are not certified organic.

  • We avoid pesticides, feed non GMO grain when needed and only give (prescribed by our vet) antibiotics when the animals welfare is in danger.
