They need fluid milk bad with school back in session. There is growing support for a milk dump. If things don;t change soon, I think it may happen.
They have tried numerous times for a National Milk Dump Day in the US. Some of my friends in CA had a nice plan put together, so it actually would affect two months of pay. However there will never be enough to get guys to all dump, someone will ref…
O really and where would they get their milk? Because I believe that every other country is in the same situation as we are, and if they are not then they probably dont produce enough to provide for out country. And they certainly can not make enoug…
The Dairy problem is just like every other problem... NO ONE will organize together. When they do there will be some that get rich because they didnt. Cut throat just like trucking and rowcrops and every other industry. Kinda like a Factory job thro…
Powder is part of the problem. It is selling on the world market for $1.30/lb., but only $.92/ lb here in the US. Every processors is looking for milk right now, but won;t pay more for it. We don;t have a supply and demand problem in the US. We have…
Hi, my name is Tiffany! I am the herdsman for our family farm, that milks around 200. I am in the process of taking over parts of the farm from my father. My younger brother and I plan to fully take over and grow the operation.

This is a news article from The Baltimore Sun!! I found it quite interesting!! I think we all should give this a try, any input is very welcome!!!

Milk farmers' groups said world prices had sunk so much they are having to sell milk at half their production costs, leaving more and more farmers unable to pay their… Continue

We have a litter of six females and four male pups. I see you're a dairy farmer. I know two of our dogs have ended up on dairies and are doing quite well. You can learn more about our Aussies at putzlivestock.com. Waiting for pup pics to be posted. Have a great week, hope to hear from you! B

- ya i'm lucky to work on the best herd in the county!! yea but your herd is good, it still has room for improvement. but i like projects to lol. i'm sure you know but its a lot of little things that you can change that will improve your herd in big ways. one thing that has worked good for me and the farm i work on now is to ship all of the cronic, low producers, high scc, and ones that have disease. then breed the good cows with good bulls so you build that dream genetics in that herd. thats number one!!! our average is up to 76 to 80 lbs per cow/day. ya thats sort of the way it is here to. but ya but other wise hows life in general going?

- ya we had to do some tile lines to this year!! i can't wait to look i'll take a look at the pics in the morn i got to get some sleep. lol thats good about the groups its amazing what little changes can do to the milk production. we are milking 79 cows now and we are producing over 12,000 lbs every other day the cows are not even at peak yet lol. i want to be milking more cows but we don't have enough land to feed the cows and its a land grab out here. we could not even get one more acre of land lol.
