Best Dairy Milk Breed Red Friesian vs Smaller Cows

On our small dairy farm in Ireland, we're shifting away from larger Red Holstein Friesian cows to breed smaller, more compact cows. While big cows produce high milk volume, the smaller breeds give higher concentrations of valuable milk fat and protein - which is what we get paid for. • This transition is better for the environment too. Smaller cows eat less grass, produce less slurry/manure and have a lower carbon footprint overall. Dairy farming has a major environmental impact, so we must adapt by downsizing cow size for sustainability. • In this video, get a behind-the-scenes farm tour as the calves and cows graze on lush green pastures. You'll see some of the older, larger red Friesian cows contrasted with younger, sprightlier crossbred heifers representing the future - a petite but mighty milker. • We'll explain breeding strategies to optimize for components like fat and protein over sheer volume. Fighting climate change on dairy farms starts with efficient, environmentally-friendly cows! • • #dairyfarming #dairycows #irishagriculture #sustainablefarming #milkproduction • • 🚜🌱 #IrishFarming #Agriculture #FarmingLife
