Answer: Mackie's jersey cows are black and white

The goody bag includes: 6 litres of Mackie’s ice cream along with a Mackie’s Golf Umbrella, Mug, Shopping bag and a Frisbee.

Thanks for all the answers below. I got the orignal answer wrong - I got the cows mixed up! Sorry if you entered it with the wrong answer.

    I think the answer which is not correct might actually be:
    3. Mackie’s jersey cows are black and white

    from the text: Mackie's have Holstein (black and white) and Jersey (pale brown) cows. Other major cow breeds are Scandinavian Reds and British Friesians, Guernsey (tan and white), Brown Swiss (dark brown or gray), Ayrshire (white and red) and Milking Shorthorn (red or red roan).

  • I think the answer is
    4. Mackie’s business is powered by wind energy


    From their about page: Our wind turbines generate power, we grow crops to feed the cows to produce the fresh milk and cream we need to make ice cream.

    I think you are probably right. There is page here:

    http://surprise.visitscotland.com/offers_and_promotions/mackies_ice_cream.aspx

    which contains the other three statements....

    "Mackie’s make award-winning ice cream on the family farm in Aderdeenshire."
    "Mackie’s cows have a high tech byre where the cows milk themselves in robots"
    "Three wind turbines provide renewable energy to power the business."

    The correct 'wrong answer' is 3. Mackie’s jersey cows are black and white - because Jersey cows are pale brown :)

    But the cows can milk themselves (they have special robot machines) so that is the wrong answer, as it is correct.

    If you click on cows at the bottom it shows a picture of brown and black and white cows,although i would love to see a cow milk itself!
