Adopting our first family milk cow, Marmalade, at Aberdeen Acres was a lengthy and arduous process. Supportive information on breeding, healthcare, and general maintenance available to small-scale breeders and owners in Ontario was hard to come by. We want to use our own knowledge to make your first family milk cow experience the best one possible!
​
Our family dairy cow program aims to provide healthy, well-adjusted, well-trained, and well-mannered heifers (cows that have not had their first calf) to the Ontario homesteading community. Each of our heifers comes with the following when adopted:
​
- 3 nylon halters and a lead rope to accommodate their growth over their first 2 years of life
- Halter and lead training
- An information package on each individual heifer
- A healthcare information package (including what to watch for in terms of illness, body condition scoring, and breeding information)
- A lifetime of online supportive care!
​
Breeding packages are available for heifers that are over the age of 16 months. Please contact us for more details.
