Each and every day, New Hampshire’s dairy farmers work hard to produce fresh wholesome milk for you and your family. NH’s dairy farm families take pride in high quality animal care and maintaining NH’s natural resources.

Cows are pregnant for 9 months just like people. On average, cows produce 7 gallons of milk per day. Cows actually do not bite grass; instead they curl their tongue around it and pull. The average cow chews at least 50 times per minute. An average dairy cow weighs about 1,200 pounds.

Drink more milk; consume more dairy. Not only is it good for your health, but in doing so you help preserve open space.
