“Over 10 years... faithfully for 7 days on every fresh cow.” — Dave Rousseau
Dave Rousseau & Josée Charron, Verchères, Québec BROWN HEAVEN FARM, 9 EX, 20 VG, 1 GP 23,419M (10,623 kg) 4.5F 3.6P, SCC: 28 to 50,000 Brown Heaven Glenn Fantasy VG89 at 2016 World Dairy Expo where she was Grand Champion 2015, 2016 and Best Udder and Bred and Owned 2014, 2015, 2016; Unanimous All-American 5-yr-old 2015; All-American, All-Canadian 4-yr-old 2014; Grand Champion Supreme Dairy Showcase 2015, 2016; and Supreme Champion Suprême Laitier 2016.
“We use Udder Comfort™ at shows and at home. For over 10 years, we have used it faithfully after each milking for 7 days on every fresh cow to soften the udders for that nice texture. This is the best product and important for comfort and quality,” says Dave Rousseau. He and Josée Charron have purebred Brown Swiss at Brown Heaven Farm, Verchères, Québec, where udders are top priority and cows are recognized for high quality milk with very low SCC.
Quality Udders Make Quality Milk
