For T&K Red River Dairy in Stanfield, Arizona, raising calves comes with its fair share of challenges. To help mitigate this, farm co-owner Tim Dugan chooses to focus on minimizing stress and maximizing nutrition to raise healthy, productive replacement heifers for the 13,000-cow dairy he owns and manages with his father, Tom Dugan Sr., and brothers, Tom Dugan Jr. and Tony Dugan.

At the same time a new Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) processing facility was being built near the farm, the Perazzo Brothers Dairy in Fallon, Nevada, began expanding its herd and building a new double-30 milking parlor. When the family made the move to their new milking facility, they also decided to add a farm museum that looks down over the parlor.
