I’m looking for a brand of milk avaliable in Woolworths or coles that doesn’t seperate and kill the baby cows. Struggling to find info, any info is appreciated!

I will be moving my cattle onto a rented farm with a freestall barn. There is a double 8 parlor with crowd gate. I have heard expect 4 days of pushing cows into the parlor. Any tips, tricks, advice?

How do you regulate the fans and sprinklers in the resting area and the line to be milked? Is it simply time based?

Hello. I'm currently considering working and potentially owning a dairy. My mother's side of the family all grew up on a dairy farm and some of my cousins breed beef cattle, so I hear a lot of stories, but would like to know how different it is now, to say, 30-40 years ago and what the pros and cons are in the dairy industry. I'm currently looking for work to see if I like it, but thought I'd ask here as well.

Hey everyone. Recently I’ve been watching some YouTube videos about how the dairy farming processes are today and how it will change in the future. Currently I live abroad but I am thinking of going back to my country and start a dairy business. The ideal plan is to have an animal farm and bottle whatever is produced at my own facility but I don’t know how it will go.

Far from doing this, I would like to get some tips from you guys. I know that watching videos or reading articles won’t be enough before I start my business so I am planning to work voluntarily in farms in the Netherlands, Germany or Switzerland. So I started searching the farms in these countries. If they accept me, I will visit them time to time. But meanwhile what should I consider while doing my research? Is there any online resource that you would recommend to follow so that I can get more info? I am open to any idea and if there is any farmer from those countries that would be willing to have me as a guest, please do not hesitate to dm me.

Do you feed your cows whatever they call the leftover grains and such from beer brewing? Seems like a great use for it. Is it nutritious? Do the cows like it?

Do you have to worry about new feed changing the taste of the milk?

hi all! i'm starting as a dairy hand/milker next week. i was lucky enough to score a job where they were willing to take on someone with no experience (i did have a trial run to learn the basics) but was wondering if anyone had any tips, tricks and advice, just generally to help me be better prepared and make a good impression, cheers in advance :)

Hey I’m a teenager that works on a dairy farm and I really do want to be a dairy vet but I just don’t know where to start like what do I study or how do I study?

I'm fascinated by dairy farming, so please pardon the naive questions.

If you're milking by hand, does it matter what order you milk the teats?

Which is easier on the udder - hand or machine milking? Which gets more milk?

Is there a way for you to know what percentage butterfat you're getting from each cow? If not, how do you make sure you're getting the fat % you need overall?

Hello! I want to make a t-shirt graphic with a photo of an udder straight on, printed on the stomach area as if you were the one with the udder.

There are NO photos on google of an udder from directly underneath showing it dead on and I think its whats really going to sell the comedic aspect of this shirt.

I will send a shirt (and pay for shipping) to anybody willing to take a high quality photo of a cow's udder from underneath and send it to me

thanks

Hi everyone! I'm working on a study on dairy farm automation tools, and am interested in speaking with anyone who uses Afimilk's technologies for a brief interview about operations and workflows. Please feel free to reach out to me!

Hi all! My name is Hannah Curcio, and I’m a doctoral student at Colorado State University. I’m conducting a study on dairy worker well-being and am reaching out here to ask any dairy workers or producers to consider participating.

If you agree to participate, you will be asked to fill out a survey online that will ask about your attitudes and experiences regarding dairy cattle, workplace stress, and some demographic questions. The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete and can be taken on a computer or mobile phone and in English or Spanish. To participate, please follow the link below:

I work for a company that sells animal feed and health products. I write an article for our newsletter 3x a year. I am wondering if there are any topics that people would be interested in reading. Hoping to get some new ideas. Any suggestions? It can be nutrition related, health, etc. I feel like we have covered a lot over the years so some new ideas are welcome.

Hi, I understand this can vary with breed and diet, but what would the average percent fat be of cream old-school manually skimmed from raw milk?

With open arms, the dairy industry is welcoming the future and utilizing IoT technologies to propel advancement and creativity.

IoT technologies can change the face of modern dairying by combining wireless connection, intelligent sensors, and advanced analytics.

My cottage cheese was a little dried out for my taste so I added a splash (maybe two Tb) of milk. Instant foaming

I’m looking for the best waterproof mud boot for a dairy farm setting. Covered in piss and shit daily. Muck brand are absolute trash and leak after a few weeks. Last pair I had were Dryshod MXT, super comfy, lasted about a year before they started leaking. Just checking to see if there’s a better option before purchasing another pair. Thanks!

i'd like to read about obscure innovations in dairy please! after the development of pasteurization by the late 1880s there must have been writings and products being pitched that claimed amazing benefits from dairy that might not have been entirely accurate? i imagine products like 'milk pills' or 'dairy treatments' were being pitched to the public - does anyone have any anecdotes of such? thanks!!! 🐄🥛🧀

hi friends, i love cows and dairy more than most folks, can any of you share cute stories on these beautiful animals?!?! be well🐄🥛🧀
