Boost Your Cow Comfort with Steel Dairy Barns in California

California Milk Production

Since its first commercial dairy in Marin County in the 1850s, California dairy has been big business. For decades, California has led the U.S. in dairy production. In 1993, it passed Wisconsin in milk production, and has since reigned supreme in the total output of milk, butter, yogurt, ice cream, non-fat dry milk, and whey protein.

This thriving airy industry generates approximately $63 billion annually for California and supports over 440,000 jobs. Most of these jobs are tied to the family-owned farms, which make up 99% of the CA dairy business.

 

How to Keep Your Cow Happy

Every good dairy farmer knows that keeping your cow happy is the key to excellent milk production. A study by the Carnation Milk Company found that happy and contented cows produce far more milk than their unhappy coworkers. There are several ways to support your bovines and their mental health:

 

• Hormones

The levels of serotonin, the “happiness chemical”, in a cow are linked directly to the calcium in milk. Certain chemical stimulants can increase serotonin in cows.

 

• Friendliness

A 2013 study proved that a happy community atmosphere with other cows improved growth rate and fertility. Everyone produces better work when they’re happy!

 

• Proper Lighting & Ventilation

Exposure to natural light and fresh air are essential to the efficient production of milk. Cows rely on these healthy environmental stimuli to produce their best milk.

 

Boost Cattle Comfort with Steel Dairy Barns

Savvy dairy farmers know that the right steel barn makes all the difference to their cows. A well-engineered barn will promote bovine health with a secure, calm environment. Our prefabricated metal barns are built with non-toxic steel, which provides excellent interior air quality when compared with wood structures. A metal barn is easily insulated and energy-efficient. The pest-resistant steel makes for a comfortable, clean space. Clear span architecture allows maneuverability for your herd, and our custom designs prioritize ventilation and natural light. The benefits of steel dairy barns are guaranteed to boost morale among your cows!
