[QUOTE="sillco, post: 27900, member: 42"] The dairy farmers sell their milk by the pound. The current price for class III milk to make cheese is about $18.92 per hundred weight. An average dairy cow in Wisconsin will produce about 18,000 pounds of milk per year. Some will produce as much as 30,000 lbs. or more. If you do the math on a herd of about 100 milking cows (not counting dry cows) you will soon see how much gross money a dairy can produce. A lot different than a beef producer. The trick in dairy is to control your costs. But big profits are there today. Last year the dairymen were getting about $9.50 per hundred. The prices fluxuate very rapidately, the futures for the summer months are at the $12.00 level. Class I milk for consumpson sells for more. [/QUOTE]
