Ensuring your meeting your daily requirement for calcium and vitamin D is especially important for those expecting. 🤰🥛 Whether dairy foods are a craving or not, learn 4 tips for getting enough essential nutrients during pregnancy by clicking on the 🔗 in our bio.

#RG @stefmturner After staying up half the night with a sick toddler, I’m taking a moment tonight just to sit back, watch a Christmas romcom and hide any evidence that I had hot chocolate without my kids. ❄️
Random fun fact: during this pregnancy I have wanted milk like never before🥛- I could basically chug it by the glass. Turns out, after doing some research, I don’t think I was getting enough calcium even prior to pregnancy, leaving me craving it. The past few weeks I’ve been working to incorporate more dairy into my diet, whether it’s in the form of a yogurt smoothie, or a hot chocolate night cap 🫶🏻 Did you have any cravings like this during pregnancy? The only other time I’ve had something similar is when I was pregnant with Violet and craved orange juice! 🍊

University of Michigan football player Blake Corum, who wears the No. 2 jersey, continued his “Giving Back 2 Give Thanks” event this weekend passing out 300 turkey meals and gallons of milk to underserved communities in Ypsilanti.

The running back purchases turkeys with money earned from name, image, likeness (NIL) opportunities. Michigan's dairy farmers, along with a list of fantastic partners, support the event to bring quality nutrition to families.

“It brings joy to my heart just like I hope it brings joy to theirs,” Corum said. “It’s something I will always do as long as I live on this earth."

Known as the “Royal Breed” 👑🥛 because their milk looks golden in color from the high-butterfat content, Guernseys make a delicious sip and scoop. 🍦

The breed came to the U.S. from the Isle of Guernsey, an island in the English Channel off the coast of France.

#RG @guernseydairymama Been in a bit of a rut on what to share, what to say. But I’ve got plenty of pictures of these gorgeous Ladies. So here ya go!

Run out of sour cream, butter or cream cheese when crafting your turkey day feast? 😱 Greek yogurt can replace these ingredients when you’re in a pinch!

It also helps sneak in some protein to your carb heavy #Thanksgiving meal. 💪 With a creamy texture and a little tang, we highly recommend swapping your sweet potato dish for this Cinnamon Maple Squash Casserole courtesy of @RecipeRunner!

Helping to build a strong immune system isn’t just on dairy farmer’s minds during cold and flu season. 🤒

Like human babies, precautions are also taken to keep calves healthy. ⬇️👶

#RG @crandalldairyfarm Much like any other baby, it takes calves a while to develop a strong immune system after being born, so, for the first 2 months of our calves lives they are housed in individual hutches to reduce the chances of them getting sick from one another, to keep them safe, and to give them individual care and attention as needed. As you may be able to tell by the picture, these 2 calves have grown so much and can nearly reach over the sides! This is a good sign that they are just about to be moved out of their individual hutches and into a group pen together 😊

While many of us enjoyed the extra hour of sleep, dairy cows like routine so much they wanted to eat and be milked not a minute later! 💤⏰

#DYK some farmers choose to not observe daylight saving time simply so they don’t have to change their cows’ schedules?

When flurries ❄️ begin to fly and we add an extra layer, farmers also give calves jackets to help keep them warm.

In addition, the animals are housed in hutches or barns to protect them from the harsh elements. They stay cozy nestled in beds of straw (hot cocoa not included).

From the ice 🏒to ice cream 🍦, Justin and Julie Abdelkader toured Siegler Dairy Farm in eastern Michigan last week! The couple was able to see firsthand how Michigan dairy farm families care for their animals to produce the products they trust and feed their children. 🐄

The group also discussed the role dairy foods play in helping to maintain good health and how cows are fed like athletes.

Here are a few highlights from the day!

This fang-tastic 🐺 snack is sure to be a hit at your monster mash. 🎃🪦 Happy Halloween!

#RG @healthyholme This Scare-cuterie Board is for those of you who love a good scary/gruesome Halloween 💀.

⭐️ Follow for more simple Halloween food ideas

Honestly, I’m more into the cutesy Halloween things, but when I saw @ghoul.at.heart post a photo of a hand cheese platter, I knew I needed to try to make one! Also, I totally recommend checking out their page - it’s full of so many awesome Halloween food ideas!

✨Scare-cuterie Board✨
Ingredients:
(I got everything from @traderjoes)
- 2 logs of goat cheese (mine were each 8.5 oz)
- 3 cheese sticks
- 4-5 slices of prosciutto (I used half of a 4oz package)
- crackers
Directions:
1. Trace your arm and hand on parchment/wax paper. Cut out the arm/hand and lay on a platter (I didn’t do this but next time I would so I didn’t have to try and remove it later). Cut the 3 cheese sticks to the length of your 3 longest fingers. Use the remaining for your pinky and thumb.
2. Wrap 1 log of goat cheese and the fingers in prosciutto. I was able to cut 1 slice of prosciutto into 3 pieces to cover 3 fingers.
3. Place chunks of the 2nd log of goat cheese over the hand section. Mold the goat cheese into the shape of a hand. Cover with prosciutto.
4. Add crackers and enjoy!
