Start the school year off strong by making sure your student receives real nutrition from real dairy every morning. πŸ₯›πŸŒ…

Lattes and yogurt parfaits are great on-the-go morning snack options for teens before they are able to pick up school breakfast before the bell rings.

There are seven common breeds of dairy cattle and this month we featuring our spotted friends - Holsteins! πŸ„

Holsteins are the most popular cow breed and one of the largest. Known for their milk production, they are also very recognizable with black and white or red and white spots. Like fingerprints, no two animals have the same spot design.

Blending up balanced bites! πŸ„

Dairy cows eat a Total Mixed Ration (TMR), or "cow casserole," that contains ingredients such as corn silage, haylage and more. The components are mixed together so each bite the cow takes provides them the energy they need to make nutrient-rich milk. 

Here is a view of the feed mixer in action. πŸ‘€ Once the recipe is complete, it is distributed to the cows.

β€œCows prefer an environment that is controlled and consistent each day," said Michigan dairy farmer Gertie van den Goor. πŸŒ‘οΈβ›… "They don’t like to sunbathe or sweat, so they are most comfortable where the temperature isn’t too hot and where the sun is not shining directly on them." 

At Green Point Dairy on a nearly 80-degree day, fans are on moving fresh air throughout the entire length of the barn and the roof is blocking the hot rays of the sun.
