Interesting facts about Gingue Brothers DAiry, LLC!

I could feel closed to the farm because I can understand what farm do through Facebook page. That is the first interesting thing about it.
When a heifer (female cow) is about two months away from giving birth she will be dried off, meaning I stop milking her, and given time to rest and grow a nice, healthy calf. During this period she is called a dry cow.
What I call a female calf born with a twin bull. It's pretty rare that cows have twins but when they do and the genders of the calves are male/female the female is called a freemartin.
I'm going to keep pasteurization one simple, because there are different kinds of pasteurization and we don't want to mix you all up. The basic definition of pasteurization is heating a food (in this case milk) to a certain temperature for a predetermined amount of time and then cooling it down immediately.
 And the last interesting thing is very important information for me because I love spicy food. If I like spicy food I could really benefit from having a glass of milk on hand. Milk is better for soothing my mouth after eating something spicy because the casein in milk cleanses your burning taste buds. These are what I interested in or didn't know about farm.
