There used to be dozens of small family dairies around here..... just one left I know of. Others grew mega-houses.
The price per hundred weight of milk is piss poor. Only milking the Holsteins gives a hope for tomorrow.
One local farm has gone to raw milk to pay the bills. State gave them grief, just because they could, despite farm following rules and regs. per local paper.
A Jersey is the perfect family cow. Though some prefer the dexter... not sure of the A1, A2 status on that old dual purpose type.
If anyone does farm work, you know how poorly paid it is. Not all farms have shareholder beyond the immediate family members. Some group together to become co-ops.
With schools closed, the milk is getting dumped.
