dairy farming
Raising milk cows
Dairy farming is the agricultural practice of raising cattle, goats, or other animals primarily for milk production.
Unlike beef cattle operations, dairy farms focus on sustained milk output rather than meat.
The work involves daily milking, herd management, and often processing milk into products like cheese, butter, and yogurt: Her family has been in dairy farming for three generations.
