In the chaos here at the ranch we are milking 4 cows to date. Have had 9 calves born and am share milking one and have gotten the other 4 cows out with eight calves. So each nurse cow has two calves each, it's taken more time than I remember it taking in the previous years, but as Gene and I joke we can still do a days work but now it takes us two days to get it done. Yes last fall I downsized, the dairy side selling 6 of our milking cows. It seems as hard to down size as it was to grow our little business nearly 15 years ago. Anyway we still have some really nice cows for sale to the right homes. Thru the years I've not only become addicted to some of the products we've created here but it's become a passion to provide the healthiest dairy possible for the little children. I love them all. Plus I love all my milking girls.
Right now we are offering milk at the dairy. No deliveries. Make cheese when we have time and extra milk. Kefir and cultured butter are the two items I can't be without so these will be available daily. I do get behind on both, but given a few days notice can fill most orders. No more online store. Just text 307-272-5334 reoccurring orders are easiest for me, but if you need more than 5 gallons for a one time pickup just give me a few days notice and I'll let you know when ready. Dairy Products now available: Milk $6 per half gallon bottle Kefir $8 per half gallon bottle, $5 /quart $3 / pint Cultured Bunkhouse Butter $12 Plain Yogurt $7 /quart Sweet Cream or Creme Fraiche (cultured cream) $10 / pint Grass Fed/Finished Beef products now available: Hamburger $7 /pound packaged in 2# packages Tallow $9/ pint Freeze Dried Colostrum $15 / rehydrated makes about 2 gallons 3 whole beef for sale ready in July and August, get your name on the list before May 10th when deposit will be due. If you want less than a whole beef call for availability!

Dear Friends & Customers,
October 26th thru the 30th will be our last week to deliver our dairy products. The journey we've had together has been very fond and memorable for us on the Diamond S Ranch. We've enjoyed and appreciated each one of you. We are downsizing our businesses and offered two of our best producing cows to Sara Lungren who will be welcoming any of you that would like to continue your raw milk journey. Sara will have milk available daily, her price per 1/2 gallon is $5. Other products she has with two days notice are Cream, Kefir (two flavors), Butter, and Yogurt. We are so glad to have her and her family available to serve the Worland and Ten Sleep areas and beyond. For November milk orders please give Sara until November 3rd to give her your weekly order. Sara will have the extra cows by the 31st so will have it figured out how many bottles she can provide. Sara’s Phone: 307-431-2728 Address: 1372 So. Flat Rd, Worland, WY While we'll miss seeing you all, I hope you will stay connected if you ever need help with your own family cow please reach out. We'll continue sharing tutorials and different homesteading ideas on our blog page, so keep an eye out here. The heifer development program will continue. Many of you and your children have helped halter-break calves and shared meals in the barn—those memories will always stay close to our hearts. If you’re interested in owning your own family cow, we still have heifers available. Calving begins in March, and placements will be available by mid-to-late May or June in 2026 and 2027, until all these young calves and bred heifers are placed. Please let me know if you are still interested in owning your own Family Cow. This next chapter will keep us busy here on the ranch, but we're always happy to help anyone getting started with their family cow. Blessings to all, Kris Robertson Diamond S Ranch and everyone who helped make this journey so special P.S. Hyattville - Kefir & milk will be in the store frig at the dairy on Monday and Tuesday each week. Just record what you take in the tablet on the counter! Thank you for your support! Hey friends!
Just a quick reminder to get your August orders in by this Saturday if you don’t want to miss out on delicious, local dairy. Our cows are doing their part—now it’s your turn! Placing your order on time helps us plan and make sure there’s enough to go around for everyone. We’ve made things easier on the site too: 👉 You can now see the next three months of order dates listed, so if you want to set up orders that far out (or start a recurring routine), it’s ready for you. 👉 For those of you who’ve already told us you want to be part of the monthly subscription program, thank you! You can still pay monthly at your first pickup. Having a solid idea of who’s ordering helps us be better stewards of the milk, time, and energy that goes into every bottle. We truly appreciate everyone making the effort to get orders in early! Dairy Fun Fact of the Week: Cows actually have best friends!🐮💛 Studies have shown that cows form close social bonds, and keeping their herd buddies close can improve their well-being and milk production. Just one more reason we love our girls! Bonus Dairy Joke (because we can’t help ourselves): What do you call a cow with a twitch? Beef jerky! 😆 Thanks for supporting your local dairy and the gals behind the gallons. We’re grateful for every one of you and look forward to keeping you stocked with the good stuff this August (and beyond!).  Hey friends!
We hope you're all soaking in the sunshine and summer joy. As we look ahead to July, we wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who consistently place your monthly orders. That consistency helps keep our small dairy running smoothly — and lets us focus on giving you the best of what we produce. Here’s the scoop: 🐄 Please get your July orders in ASAP. We’re finding that with so many wonderful families depending on us for milk, kefir, yogurt, and cheese, we’re stretching every drop the girls give us! Because of that, we likely won’t be able to fill last-minute weekly orders moving forward — unless we have an unexpected surge in milk. Monthly orders let us plan ahead, prep accordingly, and make sure nothing (and no one!) comes up short. If you’ve been meaning to get on that monthly schedule, now is the perfect time. Why Raw Milk Matters More Than Ever While we’re on the topic of milk — did you know raw milk is gaining more attention lately in wellness communities across the country? Here are a few fun facts: 🥛 Raw milk contains enzymes and probiotics that help many people digest dairy more easily, especially those who are sensitive to pasteurized milk. 🌱 Cows on grass = healthier milk. Studies have shown that grass-fed cows produce milk with higher levels of Omega-3s and CLA (a beneficial fatty acid). 🧀 Raw milk cheeses are celebrated globally — especially in places like France and Switzerland, where tradition and flavor go hand in hand. In fact, some of the most famous cheeses in the world are made with raw milk! Thank you again for supporting your local raw milk dairy. We’re so grateful to share this food and this life with you all. If you have questions about subscriptions or want help setting up your order, don’t hesitate to reach out! With gratitude and fresh-from-the-udder love, — The Diamond S Dairy Team Hey friends,
We’re rolling right into the end of May, and with everything blooming and bustling around the ranch, we just wanted to drop in with a few updates, a podcast recommendation, and an invitation to a local favorite event! 🥛 Don’t Forget Your Jars! First things first — a friendly reminder to please return your milk jars and containers before your designated delivery day. This small act makes a big difference. Reusing jars helps us keep costs down and ensures we can keep the milk flowing smoothly (and sustainably!) to everyone. We appreciate your help in keeping our circular system running strong! 🎧 Food for Thought — Nourishing Liberty Podcast We’ve been soaking up some wisdom lately from a fantastic episode of the Nourishing Liberty Podcast. The episode, called "The Importance of American Grasslands with Jim Gerrish," dives into the relationship between our health, the land, and the animals we raise. One quote that really stuck with us was: “... if we don't have informed consumers, there's no point in us as producers trying to do the right thing…” It’s a powerful reminder that your choices at the grocery store — or better yet, from your local ranch — really do matter. Jim Gerrish is a wealth of knowledge and this episode is packed with insights about how our ecosystems and food systems are deeply connected. Give it a listen — we think you’ll love it. 🎉 Come Join Us at the Cowboy Carnival! One of our favorite local events is right around the corner — the Cowboy Carnival! This Sunday, May 25th, the Hyattville Community Center will be buzzing with activity. There’ll be:
As always, thank you for supporting your local dairy and choosing to nourish your family with real, whole foods. See you soon — and don’t forget those jars! With gratitude, 🐄 The Diamond S Dairy Team Spring is truly a season of new beginnings, and we’re feeling it here at the dairy! Three more of our girls calved this week, which means we finally have plenty of milk to go around. If you’ve been waiting for extra milk or kefir, now’s the time to stock up!
New Pick-Up Option at Bee Healthy! We’re excited to announce that you can now grab fresh milk and kefir at Bee Healthy! If you didn’t get your order in for April, don’t worry—you’ll still have a chance to pick up these essentials while you’re out and about. Delivery Updates
Dairy Fun Fact of the Week Did you know that a single dairy cow can produce nearly 6 to 7 gallons of milk per day? That means one cow can provide enough milk for over 100 glasses of milk daily! And with our growing herd of new mamas, we’ll be well-stocked for all your dairy needs. Another fun fact--kefir contains over 30 different strains of probiotics, making it one of the most beneficial fermented dairy products for gut health. If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s the perfect time to add some to your diet! We’re so thankful for all of you and your continued support of local, raw dairy. Let us know how we can help keep your fridge stocked with the best farm-fresh goodness! See you soon, and happy Spring! |
