MILK MACHINES – Dangers in the Dairy Industry
BGH: Turning Cows Into Biotech Milk Machines
Milk and dairy products produced in the United States – unless otherwise labeled – may come from cows routinely injected with a genetically engineered hormone called recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH).
This is the story of BGH – its effect on cows, consumers, and farmers, as well as the efforts of agribusiness drug companies to get genetically engineered hormones into our nation’s dairy cows.

HOW NOW, HAPPY COW?
Grass Fed Dairy — Milk and Cheese from Grass Fed Cows
On a fairly regular basis, Grinning Planet throws cow pies at “industrial agriculture”—those massive, corporate farming operations—while singing the praises of small farms and sustainable, non-chemical agriculture. It all sounds good: who doesn’t prefer the idea of varied, natural, lush fields to endless miles of genetically engineered corn stalks, and who can’t see that happy barnyard animals are better off than sad creatures trapped in cages, pens, and feed lots.

DAIRY FARMS
Posted in: Uncategorized
Dairy farms are farms where cows are raised to make milk and milk products like cheese, ice cream, butter and whipping cream. We went to a local dairy farm to see what it was like—up close. It wasn’t what we expected. The farm that we visited had registered Holstein cows, known for high amounts of milk production. Our visit was during a very cold day in January, when farmers sit inside and relax. Right?
Wrong! When we got there, Mr. Makarevich told us that their typical day begins at 4 a.m. and ends at 6:30 p.m. During the whole tour, it was obvious that there was a lot of work involved during all times of the year. Even though it was winter, their day included: Dubai Escorts

Dairy Cows
Montcalm County, Michigan is home to almost 140 dairy farms. Dairy herds range in size from as small as 10 cows to as many as 1800 cows. This large variation in size is a function of an extraordinarily diverse group of dairy producers throughout the county.
The National Agricultural Statistics Service estimated that Montcalm County dairy farms produced 205 million pounds of milk in 1999, up from 145 million in 1998. Montcalm County ranks 6th in the state in total milk produced. Dubai Escorts

There are two kinds of cattle: the kind that are raised to become beef dinners and the ones that are raised for milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream. We will describe beef cows in our Cattle section. Dairy cows are treated differently than beef cows.
Some breeds of dairy cattle are: Holsteins and Friesians [most milk], Brown Swiss [high lands], Jersey [rich and creamy milk], Normandy , and the Dairy Shorthorn. Istanbul Escort

COW’S MILK IS FOR CALVES, NOT HUMANS
Posted in: Uncategorized
If you have ever driven through the center of Florida, you’ve probably seen cows grazing or resting under shade trees. These cows were almost certainly being raised for beef. Although the horrible final destination for dairy cows is the same as with beef cattle—the slaughterhouse—dairy cows in Florida spend much of their lives on concrete, confined in overcrowded and disease-ridden farms.

BEEF CATTLE PART II
Posted in: CATTLE, FARMER, Farmers, cow
Beef cattle are raised for their meat. Cattle farms are very important to the world. We get veal, beef, hamburger, and hot dogs from beef cattle. Veal comes from calves and beef comes from older cattle. We also get leather, glue, soap, and medicine from them.
Cattle are raised all over the world. In India, people think cattle are holy so they aren’t killed or eaten there. Some kinds of beef cattle are Aberdeen, Angus, Brahman, Charolais, Herefords, and Polled Herefords. Farmers pick which breed they want to raise by the climate where they live. For example, some cattle can be raised in areas where there isn’t too much water. Read the rest of this entry »
