Tuesday we visited the Holter Holstein Farm. It is a local diary farm that is family owned and operated. The farm receives funding from the American Dairy Association (15 cents for every $100 lbs of milk). They also receive bonuses for favorable characteristics in their milk. Monitoring and evaluation is done by the family that runs the farm. They have to maintain certain things and go along with the regulations put forth by the government. A nutrition professional may be helpful in evaluating the milk and keeping food safety standards.
It was interesting to see how the farm was operated. They had so many cows, and a dog...I wonder who let it out (whooo whoo whoo)?
