Doris with Daloris Dairy makes butter with the cream she skims off the milk, she then uses the buttermilk which is more like a whey to make skyr (similar to greek yogurt). See if you can put the pictures in order, put your answer in the comments. If you have any questions or need a skyr start give her a call at (208)745-7779. If you want to learn how to make butter and skyr watch for our post.

We often get asked how we bottle our milk.  Our process is pretty simple! Once the milk is cooled in the cooling tank, it is poured into freshly cleaned bottles and capped immediately. A video of our bottler operation in action is available on our Facebook page.

We are very grateful for so many blessings we have enjoyed throughout this year. We appreciate every person who has tried our milk and shared it with their friends and family. From everyone of us at Daloris Dairy, THANK YOU! Please come out and visit Dale in his store, he wants to remind everyone that we have about a quart of cream to every gallon of milk for you to enjoy with your families anytime of the year. Cream for gravies, caramels, whipped toppings, whatever you wish to grace your table with. Again, thank you!

Come visit our dairy and pick up some of this fresh milk anytime you want! We officially open Monday at 10:00 a.m and close Saturday at 8:00 p.m. We are self serve with instructions on how to purchase the milk in the shop, but we are always here to help if you need it. We have our delicious milk available in glass half gallon bottles, or plastic gallons(as seen below). You won’t regret the visit!

There’s something unearthly beautiful about jersey calves, and it’s difficult to capture it fully in a picture. With careful attention to breeding dates and cow care, we get to enjoy newborn calves all year round and count it as a great blessing. With the weather turning into the wet and cold characteristic of early winter, our calves need extra attention to stay warm, dry and healthy. Doris, who has been raising every calf for the dairy since it started over 30 years ago, keeps a watchful eye as she feeds them night and morning, and often returns several times throughout the day to care for any that are under the weather or questionable.

Some measures that she takes to keep the calves comfortable are placing warm calf jackets on them, keeping them bedded in dry straw, and providing them with a well balanced diet to keep them strong. They are each housed individually at first before graduating to group housing after a few months. At all times, they have access to shelter to stay out of the weather, as well as hay and a special mix of grains and minerals to maintain optimum health.

 The calves born in this colder weather have longer, thicker fur than those born in the summer time. As Dale manages the breeding of the cows, he does his best to keep the cows from delivering their calves in the coldest part of the winter.  But it seems every year there are one or two that come as a surprise at the coldest time possible, and we get to utilize special procedures to care for the cow and calf.  We have heat lamps, blankets, seemingly endless supply of straw, and nutrient rich colostrum to get the calf off to a great start.  We enjoy every cow and getting to be a part of her life from the very beginning throughout all her days. Come by the dairy and feel free to ask questions, we love talking about our cows!
