Meet Our Girls!
Meet Bessie
The One Who Started It All
Bessie was a Jersey who will always hold a very special place in the heart and story of McCown Family Farms. She originally came into our lives as Cody’s 4-H project, but we had no idea then just how much one special cow would change the direction of our family.
Her gentle nature and wonderful Jersey milk introduced us to the joy of milking our own cow and providing fresh milk for our family. What started with Bessie slowly grew into a dream, and eventually, McCown Family Farms Dairy was born.
Sadly, we said goodbye to Bessie in 2026. Losing her was difficult, but the legacy she left behind lives on in our farm, our family, and every one of the girls who came after her.
Every farm has a beginning, and ours began with Bessie. No matter how much our herd grows or where this journey takes us, she will always be remembered as the one who started it all. ❤️
Meet Maisey
Maisey is one of the sweethearts of McCown Family Farms. She is a beautiful Jersey girl who joined our farm in 2022, making the trip all the way from North Carolina to East Texas.
Maisey is truly as sweet as they come. She has a personality all her own and has a special way of winning over everyone she meets—especially the kids! She loves attention and is one of those cows who reminds us why we love raising our girls and sharing farm life with others.
Maisey isn't just part of our herd—she's part of our farm family. ❤️
Meet Barbra Jean "BJ"
Barbra Jean—or BJ, as we call her—is one of our beautiful Jersey girls and definitely one of the biggest personalities at McCown Family Farms!
BJ came to us from Missouri and got her name from the character Barbra Jean on the TV show Reba, one of Stacy’s favorite shows.
And just like her namesake, BJ knows how to make herself known! She is a little louder than most of our girls and is usually the first one to let us know when someone has arrived at the farm. You could say she's our unofficial farm greeter—and alarm system!
Underneath all that personality, BJ is a sweetheart. She loves attention, enjoys being around people, and certainly isn't afraid to ask for a little extra love.
Life on the farm just wouldn't be quite as entertaining without our BJ. ❤️
Meet Fawn
Fawn holds a very special place in our family because she was Cole’s very first show cow. She came to us from Northeast Texas and is easy to recognize by the beautiful white marking on her head.
Fawn is just about as sweet as they come. She loves attention and especially enjoys having people stop by to rub and love on her. Unlike BJ, she isn't quite as vocal about asking for attention—she'll just happily soak it up when you give it to her!
But don't let that sweet face fool you. Fawn can be a little bit of an instigator. If there's a weak spot or a new hole in the fence, chances are Fawn will be one of the first girls to find it! She keeps us on our toes and has given us more than a few reasons to double-check the fences.
Sweet, curious, and just a little mischievous, Fawn has been a special part of our family's dairy journey from the beginning. ❤️
