- do your cattle graze?
Yes! . In the spring/summer the cows have access permanent pasture, allowing them to choose indoors or outdoors. They also have access to the 24/7 automated milking system.
- what happens to the bull calves?
All bull calves are reared to maturity for beef, even the Holsteins.
- does milk contain hormones or antibiotics?
British milk does not contain any hormones or antibiotics. At Mawley, antibiotics are only used when absolutely necessary, under veterinary advise.
- what is the shelflife?
Bottled fresh 6 mornings a week in our on-farm dairy, Mawley Milk is delivered with a minimum of 8 days Use By date.
- what is non-homogenised?
Mawley Milk is not homogenised – the cream naturally rises to the top. Homogenisation emulsifies cream into the milk – in our opinion this spoils the taste and quality. Most supermarket milk is standardised and homogenised.
- certifications
