About
Stonehouse Milk – Local, Fresh, Free Range Milk
Our cows
Our milking herd compromises of 100 cows, comprising of UK bred Dairy Shorthorns with a few other breeds such as Brown Swiss (Diana) and Friesians. We are passionate about our cows and their health and happiness. The cows can be seen happily grazing in the fields around Stonehouse and Standish.
The Shorthorn breed of cattle, known for its excellent milk quality, temperament and longevity, which we know today, has evolved over the last two centuries, from Teeswater and Durham cattle found originally in the North East of England.
