Yesterday, we took a road trip to Pocatello to meet this girl on her way down from Montana. She’s actually Idaho born and bred, just returning to her roots after a stint away.

Meet Springwater OR Jane’s Journal.

She is an Alejandro daughter out of Diary, and related to many of my herd here, all based on her granddam, Jane, and her sire Alejandro.

With the addition of Journal, my Jane collection nears completion. Five descendants now reside in the Glimmerwood herd.

We are honored to have her here.

Somebody new is coming to the farm! You’ll have to wait for introductions though, as I’m on a road trip to pick up today.

Pick of my barn cat in the fog for attention. Please admire Xena’s silhouette.

I made the mistake of counting goats. I have too many does! Take advantage of 2019 rollback pricing. My overwhelm is your gain!

My herd focus is on milk production. We are a performance herd. Lots of ELITE milk genetics behind these girls. All can be looked up on ADGA Genetics site.

🥛🐄 Dairy Cow Breeds & Their Milk Production

Not all dairy cows produce the same amount of milk — breeds vary widely in yield, adaptability, and purpose. Choosing the right breed depends on your farm goals, climate, and market needs.

📊 High Milk Producers

Holstein-Friesian: 7–7.5 gal/day

Australian Milking Zebu: 7.5–8 gal/day

Jersey: 6–7 gal/day

🐮 Moderate Producers

Brown Swiss: 5.3–9 gal/day

Ayrshire: 5–7 gal/day

Normande: 5–5.5 gal/day

Guernsey: 4–4.4 gal/day

🌱 Dual-Purpose & Local Breeds

Dairy Shorthorn: 5–6 gal/day

Abondance: 4.1–4.9 gal/day

Belgian Red: 3.6–4 gal/day

🐂 Low-Yield but Hardy Breeds

Dexter: 1.6–1.8 gal/day

Red Sindhi: 1.1–1.5 gal/day

Buša: 0.4–1.1 gal/day

💡 Remember: high yield isn’t everything. Some breeds offer better milk fat/protein content, adaptability to harsh climates, or disease resistance — all vital for sustainable farming.
