Vermont family dairy operation shifts to meat products
After 104 years as a dairy operation, the Robb Family Farm of Battleboro, Vt., milked its last Holstein on August 4 and began preparing for its next era.
"There were a lot of tears that day. We still got some dairy cows, but they'll be going as they get bred," said Charlie Robb Sr., reports the Battleboro Reformer. "We were working so hard just to support the milkers, we woke up to the fact that we were working so hard to keep the milk cows here. It was not good."
