Organic vs Traditional Milk

Sassy Cow Creamery is unique in that we offer both organic and traditional milk. Brothers James and Robert own and operate both dairy herds that supply milk to the Creamery. We have 100% confidence in all of the milk we produce, organic and traditional.

All our cows are treated with the same care and compassion at both of our farms. The difference lies in the tools available for caring for our cows and land. If a health concern arises the treatment is different for each farm. As an organic herd, certain medications cannot be given to treat illness. In the traditional herd, if a health concern develops, like a swollen foot, under the supervision of our veterinarian we would use a therapeutic antibiotic to reduce swelling and cure the infection. Similar to treating an ear infection in people. The milk from any cow that has had a therapeutic antibiotic treatment is withheld from the milk supply until there is no evidence of antibiotic residue. All our milk is rigorously tested and antibiotics are never found in our milk. Bovine growth hormone, rBGH has never been used on any of our cattle since we began farming and it will not be used in the future.
