Apart
from a quality vacation we are offering a possibility to learn something
about vegetarian cow breeding. That is to say, in our household we are
taking in old, neglected cows whose destiny was to end up in a
slaughterhouse and we make it possible for them to recuperate and live the
rest of their life in peace without the fear of violent and unnatural
death. Our cows are pasturing whenever the weather conditions allow it
(when there is no snow, ice or extremely low temperatures) and they don't
get any artificial substances in their nurishment. Their milk is pure
organic nectar. In case you would like to learn how to milk a cow, make
cheese and yogurt from it or simply enjoy them you are very welcome. We
would like our guests to be vegetarians or people inclined to such living
and nature lovers as we, ourselves are nurturing such lifestyle. We are
vegetarians and are trying to treat our cows in the best and the most
humane way possible. At the moment we have 3 cows and 2 calves.
LOZA
– is 18 years old, gives 7 litres of milk daily and has a 6 month old
daughter named Nandini. The condition she was in a year ago when she came
to us was defeating. She had a purulent matter (festering, running sore)
coming out of her utter (dug) instead of milk due to many inflammations
and neglect. Because of hunger and exhaustion she could barely walk. We
weren't at all sure weather she would survive.
PREMA
– is 15 yrs old, she's been with us for 2 years now, at the moment she's
not giving any milk because she's expecting a newcomer in mid April. If
you'd like to be a godfather let
us know.
CAMARI
– taking into consideration the number of owners she has changed every
track of her age is lost. She came to us 2 months ago. Due to the
complications after giving birth her owner wanted to get rid of her in
fear of infertility. She gives 7 lit. of milk at the moment and is
recovering from the delivery stress.
NANDINI
– a female calf, 6 months old, daughter of Loza, very peaceful and
obedient just like her mother.
MUKI
– a female calf, 3 months old, beautiful copper complexion and lively
nature.
Our cows are of a so called Brown Swiss breed whose milk has 4,0 % milk fat and 3,6 % protein. These cows are equally brown in different tones. The hair is short and soft and the skin is pigmented. They have strong legs, especially the hoof, which is a big advantage on the steep mountain pastureland. They are very adaptive, of good health and very resistant.
We
are also offering an 'adopt a cow' program. For only 400 Pounds a year you
can choose which cow you'd like to adopt and which time of the year you
want to come to visit her and us. When you come you get free accommodation
and unlimited supply of organic milk, cheese and yoghurt. This program
includes a 7 day stay for up to 4 people. The
unity of sun, sea, green fields and love for animals is something that
anyone who visits our small country household can expect.
