De Stoerderij is famous for its stoic water buffalo on a farm in the Netherlands. There are about 100 water buffaloes on the farm, which roam the various meadows in Son en Breugel throughout the year. The water buffaloes are milked for milk and bred for their meat. On this farm, buffalo milk is processed and turned into products such as mozzarella, yoghurt, ice cream, paneer and butter, which is famous for the traditional Italian mozzarella cheese. Raw milk is also sold on the farm. Water buffaloes often like to lie in the water, hence the name "water buffalo". Water buffaloes are calm and friendly animals, but are sensitive to stressful situations. In addition, the farm works with the family herd method, which allows for better animal health and more space for natural behaviour. Although water buffaloes belong to the cattle family, they are not cattle and produce less milk. On this farm, you can learn more about interesting details about water buffaloes and farm practices.
