The milk and other dairy products we consume today are produced by dairy animals – mostly cows.
Key to the consistent success of the modern dairy is the profitable production of high-quality milk.

Most dairy cows are now housed indoors for most, if not all, of their lives. Very few cows are moved to pasture or dirt lots during the dry period or when weather permits.
