We recently expanded to accommodate 200 milk cows. Our current herd is very productive, with a herd average of over 25,000 pounds per cow per year, which turns out to be about 80 lbs. per cow per day. That is equal to about 2,907 gallons per cow in one year! We are very excited about the current dairy industry and our opportunities to advance.

Our milk cows are treated with the very best care that we can provide. We pay very close attention to cow comfort and health. Balanced rations, clean housing, and manure management are a must on dairy farms these days if you want to be productive. The manure from our cows is stored in an enclosed, underground cement pit until it can be hauled out on to the fields under I.D.E.M. regulations. Our cows are evaluated once a month to be assured that they are in the best health possible. We also attempt to have their hooves trimmed at least twice a year to maintain good feet. Health care is also issued to calves immediately after birth. They are given vaccines and nutrient rich milk within the first 30 minutes. Flies and insects are not a problem with us as they are on some farms because we utilize a fly control program issued by Orkin. We do our best to keep the place clean and healthy and the State Board of Health makes sure we are doing so by inspecting us at least 4 times a year.
