About Us
Background
Daisi was born in Killygordon, Donegal and is the descendant of a long line of Milking Cows that have been supplying milk to the Donegal Creameries for over 100 years.
Like her ancestors before her, Daisi loves and is very proud of her role in life which is to provide fresh milk to Donegal families every day. All her friends, Luci, Suzi, Kirsti and Bettsi, and the other thousands of cows who supply the Creamery are natives of Donegal and its hinterland
Cared for by over 200 loving farmers, the cows work well but also have lots of playtime together and enjoy just ‘hanging out’ in the fields doing what cows do best…having a little munch!
