The quality of our milk is our top priority. We take very special care of our cows, to make their lives — and your milk — extraordinary.
Milk tastes better, and cows feel better, when we keep the somatic cell count down.
Somatic cells are produced at the earliest beginnings of infection. When the count is high, it means a cow has an infection. It also means milk doesn't taste as good, and is less nutritious.
Dairies producing Grade A milk are only required to maintain a somatic cell count of under 750,000/mL. But even at 300,000/mL, cows are infected with pathogens. At Hill-Over Healthy & Fresh, our count is currently down to only 60,000/mL. That's a big difference!
You can taste that difference in our milk. And you can drink our milk knowing we only include milk from healthy cows when we stock our store or make deliveries to your homes.
