We saw this feel good story from earlier in the year that we just had to share.
A study by the School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development at Newcastle University in the UK1 identified that cows which were happier than other cows produced more milk.
The researchers gave the animals more one-to-one attention to make them feel happier and more relaxed as well as named the cows Betsy or Gertrude or Daisy then found the overall milk yield of these cows improved by almost 284 Litres annually.
How wonderful!
It makes sense though. CEO’s of major companies indicate that happier employees are more productive at work2. So why shouldn’t it be the same for our bovine friends as well?
We are just glad that all the Betsies, Gertrudes and Daisies are given the attention they deserve for producing such a wonderful product like milk.

The humble cupcake, which was once only a staple at children’s birthday parties, is now a fashionable phenomenon.
Who would have ever thought a basic recipe containing just flour, sugar, vanilla, eggs and milk could lead to a world wide dessert trend which was in-part sparked by ‘Carrie Bradshaw’ from the hit television show Sex In The City devouring cupcakes from her favourite bakery in one episode.
People at home are now baking recipes from books like The Crabapple Bakery Cupcake Cookbook. There are blogs dedicated solely to cupcakes and creative cupcake ideas. Bakeries devoted to cupcakes have started in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and other major cities world wide. And, pastry chefs now cater cupcakes for special occasion birthdays, weddings and bridal showers.
Why are cupcakes so popular?
Simply, they are the perfect dessert.
• They are small enough to eat by yourself but big enough to satisfy a craving for something sweet.
• Cupcakes are suitable for a mid-morning coffee break, afternoon tea or even a Wedding reception, cupcakes are always welcome.
• They can be plain or fancy.
• Most of all they are fun, quick and tasty

Thank you so much for your milk Zymil. My daughter was diagnosed with lactose intolerance at 12 months and is now 21, and so therefore I found out I am. We’ve tried rice milk and soy milk but didn’t like the taste.
Just wanted a milk without the lactose, Yahooo!!!!!! Thank you, I drank 2 litres in one hour I loved the taste so much.
