Southern Idaho has been one of the fastest growing dairy areas in the United States. The state is home to 550,000 cows. Southern Idaho is a diverse agricultural area with an excellent climate for milking cows and growing forages. With all these cows comes an incredible consulting and support industry willing to work with dairy producers in supplying goods and services.
We have some of the top nutritionists and dairy veternarians in the country that work in Idaho. Everything you may need, from milking equipment, dairy towel services, electricians, welders, mechanics, breeding services, custom farming and chopping and nutrient mangagement, just to list a few, is available.
