dairy farmer

Raises cows professionally

A dairy farmer raises cows, goats, or other animals primarily for milk production rather than meat.

The work involves daily milking, herd management, and maintaining equipment.

Dairy farming demands consistent schedules since animals must be milked regularly: My grandfather was a dairy farmer who hadn't taken a vacation in forty years.
