dairy farmers
Milk production workers
Dairy farmers are people who raise cattle primarily for milk production rather than meat.
The term distinguishes them from cattle ranchers or beef farmers.
Dairy farming requires daily milking schedules and specialized equipment: The dairy farmers were up before dawn to start milking.
The occupation has consolidated dramatically, with small family dairy farms giving way to large industrial operations.
