Fresh, Raw Milk Herd Share located in Waddy, KY

What is a Herd Share?

  • A herd share is an arrangement where you own a share of a dairy herd. Instead of purchasing milk outright, you pay for a portion of the herd’s care, and in return, you receive a share of its milk. This allows you to enjoy fresh, raw milk without buying it commercially, as you're simply claiming milk from cows you partially own.

  • Herd shares are popular for those who want fresh, unprocessed milk while ensuring the ethical treatment of dairy animals. Many choose this option because:


    ✔ It allows access to raw milk, which is not sold in stores in many states.
    ✔ It supports local farms and sustainable agriculture.
    ✔ It provides transparency—you know exactly where your milk comes from and how the cows are cared for.

  • No, a herd share is different from simply buying milk. Since raw milk sales are restricted in many places, a herd share is a great way to obtain it. Instead of purchasing milk, you own part of the herd, and the farm boards and cares for the animals on your behalf. Your monthly payment covers the cost of care, and your share of the milk is a benefit of ownership.
