A Colorado dairy farmer is one of only two licensed camel milk producers in the country.
Filed Under:– People with food allergies and lactose intolerance are always looking for other options to cow’s milk. There is an ancient alternative that’s being produced in Colorado.
“I was looking to do something unique, something different…just kind of the ‘wow’ factor,” said first generation dairy farmer, Kyle Hendrix.“The camel is a very overlooked animal, for sure,” Hendrix told CBS4. “It will be five to six years before they have their first calf, so it’s a long waiting game to get one into production,” he explained.“You’ve got to get on a personal level with each one, and just kind of work with them, and work with their personalities,” Hendrix said.
“To milk a camel, you have to maintain a cow/calf relationship at all times,” Hendrix explained. “It’s quite a process and you only have about 90 seconds to harvest that milk.”“We’re averaging 8 to 16 pints a day per cow,” he said.“We’re one of two licensed camel dairies in the United States, right now,” Hendrix explained.
