How does a herd share work

🌱 What a Herd Share Is

A herd share works a lot like owning a share of stock. You purchase a share in a cow (or the herd) for a set fee. This fee doesn’t make you the owner of the farm or the animal—it simply gives you a legal interest in the cow so you can receive milk from your own animal.

I charge a one‑time $50 buy‑in fee for your herd share and it buys your jars and lids for your first pickup.

🥛 What the Monthly (or Weekly) Fees Cover

Cows need to be milked every day twice a day and they need to eat, have shelter, and stay healthy. That is what your monthly payments provide. In return you get your milk every week without having to wake up every morning to milk the cow yourself.

Who is your cow?

Lainy is currently running the show. She is providing 7 families with milk every week and will be joined by Scarlet in July, once she has her baby of course. The other cows that are here will not be apart of the milk supply. They will be feeding their own calves as well as the pigs.
