As temperatures are rising, make sure you are staying cool. Michigan dairy cows sure are! 😎🐄

#DYK cows prefer an environment that is controlled and consistent each day? To ensure this happens, dairy farmers use barn fans and sprinkler systems to cool them off in this summer heat!

Learn more about how farmers care for their cows in the summer by clicking on our bio.

Silage, or fermented plant matter, is the main ingredient cows eat to provide them the energy they need to produce nutrient-rich milk. 🌱🥛

Many Michigan dairy farmers have harvested their first of many haylage crops this year. After they chop alfalfa, it is usually collected and brought back to the farm where it is stored in covered silos or airtight bags so it can be preserved until use.

If you're a parent you know kids will gobble up just about any vegetable if it’s covered in cheese. 🧀

That’s a win-win because not only are children reaping the benefits of healthful vegetables, they’re getting protein, calcium, magnesium and potassium, courtesy of the cheese itself.

Dairy farmers have long understood the value of cow manure! 💩🐄

Along with responsibly spreading cow waste on fields to nourish the ground and grow future cow feed, some farms also use it to create energy. ⚡

A biodigester, or methane digester, can transform manure to #biogas. This fuel is then captured, cleaned and used for electricity, heat, compressed natural gas and vehicle fuel. Creating biogas is one of many ways that dairy farmers reduce their carbon footprint!

Learn how digesters work by following the 🔗 in our bio.

Sour cream and yogurt are part of some of our favorite #summer side dishes. ☀️

As temperatures rise, perishable foods should sit out for no longer than 30 minutes above 40°F. Better yet, keep salads and spreads on ice if possible and don’t set food out until you’re ready to eat!

Make our refreshing Mint and Jalapeno Coleslaw for your next #BBQ! Recipe in bio.

Implementing #sustainable practices doesn't stop at the farm for dairy. Have a gallon of milk or block of cheese that is nearing expiration? Increase your recycling efforts ♻️ and reduce food waste at home with these tips:

🥛 Freeze milk in ice cube trays to make iced lattes that won't become watered down as you enjoy in the summer sun.

🧀 Shredded cheese can be frozen and saved for when you need cheddar in a pinch! Allow the bag to thaw for 24 hours in the refrigerator before using.

🧈 Place butter in its original wrapping into a freezer quality Ziploc bag that will stay frozen and useable for an additional 5-9 months.
