[QUOTE="Till-Hill, post: 1601594, member: 16547"] Riverview adds a 10,000 cow dairy every year. I have no idea and google wouldn't tell me how many cows they are milking but it's alot. Found 1 article from 2017 that a setup they built in MN cost $50 million and milks 9,500. Article also stated that 9,500 dairy uses 100 million gallons of a water each year. They are a very different dairy as they didn't start as a dairy, they seen a way to construct these farms and buy the feed and do it over and over again to make money. I got no problem with them milking cows. Just when is enough, enough? These LLC deals if they make 1 cent a cow they made money because they already paid themself a wage. They started with 25 investors and have since bought into Wulf Limousins and offer breeding to feeding deal. Dairys buy semen from Riverview and they come buy them half blood beef calves back. I don't think them 100 wells is going to break them...... [/QUOTE]
