Delphie, one of our Red & White Holstein cows, basks in the sunset glow on a summer evening. We have all Holstein dairy cows -- most are Black & White, but some are Red & White. So on our farm, have some brunettes and some redheads! Delphie's red coat really shines in the sun!

We had no winners in our August CA$H COW contest :( When you've finished your gallon of milk, be on the lookout for those winning jugs!
We will label 9 jugs with the big cash prize of $100 in September. Best chances to find them are right away at the beginning of the month! But make sure to keep looking throughout the month as we mark ten $5 jugs every week!
Look inside the jug toward the label to see a "5" or "100".

USDA milk purchase fills two needs with one deed
|
For the first time in history, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it will purchase $50 million worth of fluid milk for distribution to domestic food assistance programs.
While this announcement does not directly impact Hansen's Dairy, our company stands behind the effort to benefit two major issues currently facing our country.
"This purchase addresses one of our country's significant challenges -- hunger -- and, at the same time, will have a positive impact on the dairy industry at a time of significant market uncertainty," said Michael Dykes,
International Dairy Foods Association
president and CEO.
The USDA said it will purchase whole, 2 percent, 1 percent and skim milk. The agency will purchase the milk from approved vendors, and distribute the product - an estimated 12-15 million gallons, depending on the prices agreed to by USDA and its suppliers - to food assistance organizations such as Feeding America.
"We are pleased that USDA is now including fluid milk in the assortment of foods it is buying and donating, as milk is in high demand at food banks because of its unparalleled nutritional benefits," said Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of the National Milk Producers Federation. "This effort will help more Americans meet their U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommended daily consumption of milk."

Sheree Van Hauen

The September Customer of the Month is
Sheree Van Hauen of Parkersburg.
Sheree's husband, who grew up on a dairy farm, was tired of
store-bought milk. When friends introduced them to Hansen's Dairy whole milk, there wa
s no turning back.
"He literally won't drink any other!" said Sheree.
The milk discovery also led to the other products in the Waterloo store, where they frequently shop.
Sheree likes the caramels and cow chips made by Jay Hansen, and also the skim milk and the protein cookie bars.
"I love coming in there and seeing the wagon and all the fresh products," Sheree said.
Thanks, Sheree! Customers of the Month receive a $5 gift certificate to use at our stores and two free hands-on tour passes to the farm (a $24 value). You could be chosen by filling out an entry form at our stores or through your comments on our
Facebook
and
Twitter
pages.

The September Cow of the Month is an "absolute" powerhouse!
Absolut celebrates her 5th birthday on Sept. 16. She has had three calves: one heifer and two bulls. Absolut is a very nice-looking cow and is a high producer at
125 pounds of milk a day. That's over 14 gallons!
Her daughter, Alize, and granddaughter, Airaa, have the same qualities she has. Alize is milking 100 pounds a day while Airaa has not had her first calf and is not milking yet. This family is sure to be on the farm for a long time.
Absolut loves to lick people and be petted on the head. She is a real sweetheart!
