 CA$H COW
  
 |  
 Congrats to this month's $5 winners in our CA$H COW contest: Bill Hunt of Waterloo and Linsay Hall of Cedar Falls. Every month we mark several of our milk jugs with either $5 or $100 under the label for our CA$H COW contest. It's hard to  get the label off cleanly, so the easiest way to check your jug is just  finish the milk and look inside at the label. There will either be a "5"  or a "100" if you're a winner!  
It's possible to find winning jugs of all kinds of milk we sell (skim, 1%, whole and chocolate). In December, we will mark 9 jugs with $100. Your best chance to find a large prize  is in the next few days! The contest starts over in January with one $100 jug, so be on the lookout this month. Wouldn't $100 be nice for your holiday shopping?  There are also 10 jugs EVERY WEEK marked with a $5.00 prize. View details  here on our  website.

 Customer of  the Month 
  
 |    Our December Customer of the Month is Amy Jardon of Cedar Falls.  
   Favorite Hansen's product:
 "Milk - I drink it and put it in smoothies."
  
 Why do you shop at Hansen's? "The milk reminds me of getting fresh milk on the farm. The taste is pure and delicious. I shop at Hansen's to buy directly from the farmers and to get products with the least additives."
 
  Thanks, Amy!
  Customers of the Month get a $5  gift certificate for our products, a certificate for one free hands-on tour of the farm, and a vehicle decal. Submit your entry at either of our retail stores!

Cow of the Month   The December Cow of the Month is Dot. She is 3 years old and has had two calves.  Dot is so named because of her forehead marking. She is very friendly toward humans but can be competitive toward her cow friends. She is one of the cows head-butting another cow in this  video we posted on Facebook earlier this month. Dot has the look and style that gives her the potential to live for a long time. She makes milking 130 pounds a day look so easy!
