  1. Idaho Dairy

  2. Bovine is a fancy word for any type of cattle. Cows are females, calves are babies, and bulls are males. • All together, cows, calves, and bulls are called cattle. Cattle: A Description Cow and Calf Bull

  3. Dairy Cattle are raised to produce milk. • Beef Cattle are raised to produce meat and other by-products. Dairy Cattle vs. Beef Cattle Holstein Dairy Cows Black Angus Beef Cows

  4. Cattle have been one of the main sources of food for human civilization. • Evidence is found in cave paintings. Origins of Cattle http://www.cardiffsciscreen.co.uk/sites/default/files/imce_uploads/Lascaux-aurochs.jpg

  5. Cattle were domesticated approximately 10,000 years ago by early humans. • Since humans could now raise their own cattle, more and more people had easy access to their products such as milk and meat (beef).

  6. In the early 1600s, immigrants brought cattle with them from Europe to provide dairy products and meat for their families. • It wasn’t until the 1800s that breeds of cattle were specifically developed for dairy purposes. Cattle in the United States Devon cows were some of the first breeds of cattle brought to the United States by early immigrants.

  7. The top counties where milk is produced in Idaho today are: Dairy Cattle in Idaho • Cassia • Jerome • Gooding • Twin Falls • Lincoln • Canyon • Ada • Owyhee

  8. Dairy is Idaho’s #1 agriculture business. • Idaho ranks in the top four milk producing states. • Idaho ranks as the third largest producer of natural cheese. • If Idahoans had to drink all the milk produced in the state every man, woman, and child would have to drink 40 glasses of milk every day of the year!

  9. The Journey of Milk Video

  10. Recycling happens on a dairyfarm in a few ways. • Water is recycled. • Manure is used to fertilize corn fields. The corn will later be used to feed the cows. • Some dairies turn the manure into compost to be sold. Dairy Farms: The Original Recyclers

  11. Cows are milked 2-3 times every day for 4 minutes by an automated milking machine. • One cow can give up to 8 gallons of milk each day. • The milk is over 100°when it comes out of the cow. Milking the Cows

  12. The 100°milk is instantly chilled to 40°to keep it fresh. • The milk is then transferred to a bulk tank. • From the bulk tank, milk is pumped into an insulated milk tanker truck to be delivered to a processing plant. • At the processing plant: • Milk is pasteurized to kill microorganisms. • Milk is put into jugs or bottles or made into yogurt or cheese. • Dairy products are shipped a short distance to consumers. Milk’s Journey from the Cow

  13. Dairy foods provide a powerful package of eight essential nutrients – including calcium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamins D, A, B12, and riboflavin. • Calcium helps build strong bones and teeth. It is also needed so muscles, like your heart, can contract. Nutrition Facts

  14. This is the easiest way to remember that three daily servings of milk, cheese, or yogurt will help most children and adults meet calcium needs while supplying an abundance of other essential nutrients. “3-Every-Day” • One milk group serving is equivalent to: • 1 cup (8 ounces) of milk or yogurt • 1 ½ ounces of natural cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)

  15. Activity Now you are going to summarize the production journey of dairy products by writing a paragraph describing the step by step journey milk takes from producer to consumer. Be sure to use proper grammar, mechanics, spelling, and transition words.
