Colorado Cow received a $250,000 Value Added Producer Grant in FY 2021 to expand the sales of pasteurized A2 milk. The funds helped expand the company's market and product line of A2 milk. A2 milk products are in high demand because of less digestive ill effects compared to traditional milk for those with lactose issues. Colorado Cow uses this specialty milk to produce fluid milk, cream, butter and gelato.
