I am Radhikha, coming from a breed of Guernsey cows. My forefathers originally came from Guernsey,
an island in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. The quality of my milk is remarkably higher than
other cow’s milk. Guernsey milk contains 12% more protein, 30% more cream, 33% more vitamin D, 25% more A
and 15% more calcium than the average store bought milk. The unique golden color of Guernsey milk comes
from an unusually high content of orange beta-carotene. Guernsey cows produce milk containing A2
protein (the lesser known A protein and properly known as Beta Casein A2 protein). I was born on a
farm in Whidby Island and became a part of herd of 1500 cows. Fortunately, I was rescued and
transferred to the Goloka farm in Redmond. I am very friendly and gentle. I look forward moving to Auburn/
BlackDiamond.
Cow is the source of progress and prosperity, in many ways. It is equivalent to one's mother. (Mahatma Gandhi).
Residents of Vṛndāvana had become highly prosperous simply by protecting cows, since Indra wanted to destroy
their so-called pride based on wealth by killing their animals. Well-tended cows produce large quantities of milk,
from which come cheese, butter, yogurt, ghee and so on. These foods are delicious by themselves and also
enhance other foods, such as fruits, vegetables and grains. Bread and vegetables are delicious with butter, and
fruit is especially appetizing when mixed with cream or yogurt. Dairy products are always desirable in civilized
society, and the surplus can be traded for many valuable commodities. Thus, simply by a Vedic dairy enterprise,
the residents of Vṛndāvana were wealthy, healthy and happy, even in the material sense. (Purport by Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada from Srimad Bhagavatam 10.25.6)
