Every year, between 600 and 1,000 North Carolina Cattle and Dairy farmers attend the NC Cattlemen’s Associations Annual Conference.
While cow numbers are considered steady, we're losing small dairies rapidly - as highlighted by Wisconsin's loss of 455 dairy farms last year. Operations with herd sizes less than 200 are more likely to exit the dairy business. A mix of economics and an aging dairy producer population is to blame.
