  • This dairy is in Escalon, California. We believe that there are relatives that operate dairies in various regions throughout California.

  • Koolfog could have posted a video using a different title. But they made the video making a false claim that keeping the cows cool increases the milk production. The only claim that can be made is that milk production will go down in hot climates. But in does not mean that the cows will produce more milk if they are kept cool. I risk being barred by Koolfog. But I can;t allow it to make a false claim.

  • @fakir0005 This is probably a matter of semantics. Many dairy farms experience reduction in milk production due to heat stress. In this dairy, the Koolfog system was implemented to help alleviate the problem. Once implemented, they experienced an increase in milk production relative to the decline.

  • @koolfoginc Now you're saying something basically different from what you were saying in the title. You're not using coolfoginc to increase milk production but to keep it from falling. This is correct. I thought this video was made by coolfoginc. company. You're not Coolfoginc. company. If you are coolfoginc buy me a small farm with a coolfoginc system. I'd see if it increases milk production. if it does I'd spend all my time talking about increasing milk production by using coolfoginc..

  • @fakir0005 No, we are saying the same thing in different ways. To put simply, dairies have a maximum capacity for milk production under their specific operating conditions. We provide solutions that help control the environment---and, as a result, milk production increases from status quo. We are not sure why you are hung up on the term "increase."

  • Dairy product consumption causes the human body to become acidic. To counter this problem the body removes calcium from the bones to balance the acidity. Dairy from any animal is not a wise thing to consume.

  • Are these Dairy men related to the TeVeldes in the Hanford Tulare area?

  • @beaelliott Second point, Brutally slaughted? Slaughter houses not brutall they usally do a quick and stress free kill of the animals. Although having said that Britain has the Highest animal welfare standards in the world. So Im not sure what foreign slaughter houses are like. It's not like I want to slaughter my cows. The longer they live, the more profit I make.

    Merry Christmas.

  • @beaelliott

    I actualy agree with you on the first point. Many english farms are following the American route of breeding cows which are forced to give over 12,000kg of milk a year and they only last untill they are about 6 years old. I personaly belive its better to let the cow produce the natural ammount of milk (so around 6,000kg a year) and then the cow is under less stress and should live upto 10- 15 years.

  • @friesiancowboy I believe that breeding them- Simply to use & then kill them when they are no longer "productive" is exploitation. We wouldn't want someone to do that to us.How can we justify doing it to someone else? Especially when there is no "necessity"- As we can thrive without cow's milk...

    No matter how "nicely" they are treated-They are still brutally slaughtered in the end. Suppose I put you in a penthouse-Attend to every desire and then arbitrarily take your life?R U ok with that?

  • I drank cow milk for almost 30 years, just switched to soy. Way better. Humans aren't supposed to drink milk from animals by the gallon, its disgusting.

  • @beaelliott

    So you belive animals are being miss treated on farms? My cows live in warm dry barns through out the winter away from the wind, rain and snow. They always have plenty of good quality food on offer to them. They always have water on offer to them. They get fresh clean straw bedding twise a day. And come summer time they go out to a grass field.

    Does a homeless person have any of these? No.

  • @friesiancowboy Anywhere that man is "in control" of another being's fate - There is exploitation by the very nature of the act. I might be a "typical vegan"... But more so - I am a "typical" person that believes in fair treatment to all beings. I'm a typical person that doesn't think human force trumps compassion.
