How efficient are dairy farmers?
Canadian dairy producers constantly invest to improve the efficiency of their operations and produce high quality milk. Canadian dairy cows are sought after worldwide for their robustness and increasing capacity to produce high quality milk (prior to May 2003). Since 1971, the average herd size has increased from about 17 cows to 65 cows. Canadian farmers invest in their barns to ensure cows are clean and comfortable, have clean air and have access to water and nutritious feed.
