The New York State Fair is a great place to meet dairy cows, experience the amazing butter sculpture, and enjoy delicious dairy products. Now, learn more about how cow care is at the heart of everything New York dairy farmers do every day on their farms. Healthy cows produce the best quality milk, so farmers make sure they’re well-fed, comfortable, and cared for every single day.

From nutritious diets tailored to each cow’s needs, to soft bedding and clean barns, dairy farmers invest time and attention into creating the best possible environment. Dairy farmers even work with veterinarians and nutritionists to keep cows healthy year-round.
