NEW HAMPSHIRE’SThe New Hampshire dairy industry is located primarily in the Connecticut River Valley on the state’s western boarder and along the Merrimack River Valley in the center of the state. There are approximately 125 dairy farms in New Hampshire with an average of 115 milking animals per farm.

Treating animals with respect and compassion is part of every dairy farmer’s heritage. Farmers recognize that good animal welfare practices lead to the production of high quality, safe and wholesome milk, and they’re constantly seeking ways to improve the comfort of their animals. Simply put, without healthy and contented cows, a dairy farmer couldn’t stay in business. There are groups that spend millions each year trying to persuade the public that animal agriculture is evil. They find isolated cases of animal abuse and attempt to convince consumers these appalling acts are common on all farms. In reality, their goal is to make it difficult for family-owned farms to exist. They all share a similar, myth-laden agenda –to end the consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs. The terms “factory farm”, “corporate farm” or “industrial farm” were invented by movie producers, authors, and organizations with the primary goal of portraying larger farms as negligent, faceless machines that don’t care about animals or the environment. Nothing is further from the truth. Cow care, comfort, and environmental stewardship are top priorities for all dairy farms regardless of their size. Despite what some activist groups claim, dairy cows are not treated as “milk machines.” Dairy cows live pretty pampered lives. On average, dairy cows are only milked for about fifteen minutes at a time, two or three times a day. The rest of the time, they’re on pasture, lazing about in the barn, socializing, eating, and drinking. New Hampshire’s dairy farm families remind you: Meal Time is Milk Time! NEW HAMPSHIRE’S AGRICULTURE There are just under 4,400 farms in the state. New Hampshire is #1 in the nation for percentage of farms with direct-to-consumer marketing sales via farm stands, pick your own, and farmers’ markets. (2012 US Census of Agriculture)

DAIRY FUN FACTS ALL milk is antibiotic free. Both conventional and organic. There are strict standards in place to ensure the milk you buy at the store is safe. Milk is tested for antibiotics at the farm, before it is transported, and again at the dairy processing facility. Each of these tests determines that milk does not contain antibiotics! It is because of these rigorous testing standards that milk is one of the safest food products you can buy. There are STRICT financial and regulatory penalties for farmers if their milk does not pass these tests. HORMONES IN MILK? Hormones are simply chemical messengers, and often proteins, produced naturally in both animal and plant foods– from celery to salmon. Because of this, there are no “hormone-free” foods, including milk. Hormones are never added to milk. Milk is one of the simplest foods you can buy. Several studies have linked milk and dairy consumption with a reduced risk for cardiovascular disease. A recent study of more than 37,000 middle aged women found that those with the highest intakes of dairy had a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. Similarly a study of men in 2005 found a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes with increased consumption of low fat dairy, interestingly, every extra portion of dairy consumed was associated with increasingly lower risk.

Milk is a naturally nutrient-rich food that provides many nutrients for a relatively small amount of calories. The nutrient powerhouse includes: vitamins A and D, potassium, magnesium and complete protein, just to name a few. Milk has an irreplaceable package of nutrients that cannot be found in any other single food or beverage. Lactose-free dairy products are a great alternative for those who want all the essential nutrients found in milk but have trouble digesting lactose. Women who eat at least three servings of dairy foods each day are 80% less likely to be obese than those who don't. COW FUN FACTS An average dairy cow weighs about 1,200 pounds. Cows have a single stomach, but four different digestive compartments. The average cow will eat about 100 lbs. of feed per day and drink 30-50 gallons of water a day. A dairy cow can produce 125 lbs. of saliva a day. Cows are social animals, and they naturally form large herds. And like people, they will make friends and bond to some herd members, while avoiding others. The term “cow” refers only to the females of the bovine population. Males are typically called bulls or steers. A female who has given birth is called a cow. A female who has not given birth is called a heifer. The main breeds of dairy cows are Holstein, Guernsey, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Ayrshire, and Milking Short Horn.
