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!

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.

Want to know what else cows eat? Visit the link in our bio!

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.

Even cows like to rest a little more than usual on Sunday mornings. 😌

Contrary to popular belief, cows usually snooze laying down, not standing up. 💤🐮 Michigan dairy farmers like @messykennedy provide them individual clean and comfortable beds made of sand, straw, sawdust or other materials so they can rest peacefully as they produce milk.

Yesterday was a “dairy” fun time celebrating #NationalDairyMonth with Michigan’s dairy community and special guest, former Detroit Red Wing, Justin Abdelkader on the Michigan State Capitol lawn. 🥛

Justin knows the importance of good nutrition on and off the ice. Milk plays a key role in the Michigander’s life, from refueling tired muscles after exercise, to providing his kids essential nutrients to grow and maintain stronger bodies and minds.

Here are a few highlights from the celebration! ⬆️

Who else could use a midday nap? 😴🌧️

"Hutches" provide calves a dry, clean place to sleep in. Like newborn babies, they also have immature immune systems when they are born. These individual houses allow farmers to monitor their health individually and protect them from harmful germs.

Milk is local. ✋❤️

Michigan’s dairy industry provides nutritious foods produced and processed locally while making a significant economic impact on communities across the state.

"Dairy farming does not just support the farmer, it also supports employees and their families," said Michigan dairy farmer Aubrey Lettinga VanLaan. "Every time we spend money it directly impacts other businesses in the community too."

Many Michigan dairy farms are also generational family businesses. "I am thankful to be raising my kids around the farm," she added. "Teaching them the importance of what we do and how much of an impact we have on the lives of others is fulfilling."
