CREME BRULEE (Caramel's half sister by the same Sire) went to a family living off-grid in Missouri with young children. Brulee is an integral part of their lifestyle. They make cheeses, yogurt, and butter with her milk. She arrived there expecting her first calf in about five more months, having been bred to Toro. She delivered a gorgeous heifer and has been a wonderful mother, readily standing to nurse and be milked.
PLACED!
SWEET CREAM is the Dam of Buttermilk and Creme Brulee and one of our original two cows. She went to a rancher's wife in Kansas. Lorinda was just learning to milk and two Jerseys in top production was too much! Sweetie was the more patient milker and in her second lactation. She easily gave 3 gallons of milk a day, with a quart of cream per gallon. She was affectionate and gentle, allowing us to give milking lessons to the children who toured our homestead.

God made the beasts of the earth after their kind,
and the cattle after their kind,
and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind;
and god saw that it was good.
