Beauty View Farm
Wahoo, Nebraska; Saunders County

Just outside of Wahoo, Beauty View Farm raises mainly Guernsey dairy cattle. Known for their rich, golden color of milk, these cows are given the title “Golden Guernsey.” Their milk color is due to high levels of beta carotene (a source of vitamin A) in the milk.
