Today's Dairy

The Rotary Parlor was completed in the early spring of 2022, it has the capacity to milk 90 cows in 9 minutes, which equates to 600 cows per hour. Which means, it takes 6 hours to milk the cows. Cows are milked 24 hours a day in 3 shifts and shut down for 2 hours in between to wash and sanitize the equipment and facility.

Each Silo holds 330,000 lbs. of milk, or 40,000 gallons, we haul out 5-6 loads of milk a day, it takes 24 hours to fill a silo. Each tanker hauls 67,000 lbs. of milk. From the time milk leaves the cow it takes three minutes for the temperature to change from 101.5° to 34°. and into the silo.
