DAIRY COOPERATIVES BEGIN 4TH HEARD RETIREMENT
News Date November 03, 2009
Cooperatives Working Together (CWT) is underway with its fourth herd retirement this year, accepting bids for just over 26,000 cows to be retired. According to CWT, the 26,412 cows and 517 million pounds of milk accepted in this round, combined with CWT’s three previous herd retirements since December 2008, equal a total reduction of milk production capacity of five billion pounds.
