[QUOTE="NC Liz 2, post: 1129681, member: 21522"] Re: For cow/calf operators, about $1.00 per lb. If the government doesn't open the doors to more low quality imports to fill the demand. IMO, the only way to recapture our own market is to produce a better product. Note: At this time I do not advocate dairy cattle being removed from the beef industry, but that time may soon come if they don't clean up their act. Dairy Cows Quick Facts Today’s dairy cows each produce about 100 pounds of milk per day—10 times more than cows living just a few decades ago. This is due to bovine growth hormones, unnatural diets and being bred selectively for massive milk production. 75% of downed animals are dairy cows. About 9 million cows are being used for milk production in the United States at any given time. Hidden Connections While large-scale dairy operations are typically separate from beef cattle operations, these industries are connected. Dairy cows usually meet their ends at beef slaughterhouses when, at just two to five years of age, their milk production has slowed or they are too crippled or ill to continue in the industry. At that point, they are slaughtered for beef. [url=http://www.aspca.org/fight-cruelty/farm-animal-cruelty/cows-factory-farms]http://www.aspca.org/fight-cruelty/farm ... tory-farms[/url] [/QUOTE]
