about lactose free…
Barambah Organics certified organic Lactose Free Full Cream Milk is slightly sweet with an excellent creamy flavour. We add a lactase enzyme which is a purified lactase preparation, isolated from a special strain of dairy yeast. The natural enzyme breaks down lactose, into simpler forms of sugars, glucose and galactose, which slightly increases the sweetness of the milk.
about Barambah Organics…
Barambah Organics has dairy farms located near Goondiwindi and Inglewood, 350kms South West of Brisbane. The farms are well located on the Dumaresq River System and on the McIntyre Brook. Our cows graze on mixed pastures and are 80% grass fed and their diet is supplemented with grains and minerals during milking times.
At Barambah Organics the calves that are born on our property stay within our care. Our calves are not considered by us to be waste products. We are fortunate to have a large expansive area to raise the calves. At the age of 6 months we take the females to another one of our properties which is 20kms from the dairy farm. There they have 1,300 acres to roam, and we take the males to our 1,000 acre property at Murgon where they are reared to the age of approximately 4 years of age.
We often get asked the question “When are the calves separated from their mothers?” Each calf is different and needs to be individually assessed and monitored after birth. Some calves are completely abandoned by their mothers and human intervention is required earlier so that the calf receives its much needed colostrum, much like human babies. The calf is not separated from its mother until it is truly on its way and fit and healthy.
Our cows are not artificially inseminated. We have approximately 18 bulls in our paddocks. We let nature takes its course. We have at any point in time approximately 100 cows who are rested from the milking herd. They can be out for 2-3 months.
Ian Campbell has been in the dairy industry for many years now and he has seen the true respect and regard that so many dairy farmers give to their animals. The average dairy farmer works a 14 hour day and strangely they choose this path for the lifestyle, as dairy farmers truly love their animals and all family members can work together. We have four farm Managers who have great respect for our cows and calves.
