You’ve seen the factory farms. You’ve heard the raw milk myths. But this? This is what real milk production looks like, from the inside.

Join me at T & K Red River Dairy in Stanfield, Arizona, where over 13,000 cows are milked every day, not by a corporation, but by a 4th-generation family who puts cow comfort, cleanliness, and nutrition first.

In this video, Carnivore Granny visits TNK Red River Dairy to uncover the behind-the-scenes of dairy farming. Tina Dugan guides the tour, showcasing how the farm operates, the care given to the cows, and the modern advancements in dairy production. Viewers learn about cow nutrition, milking processes, cleanliness, and the importance of comfort for the cows.

Key Points

Farm History

The TNK Red River Dairy, started by the Dugan family, has been operating since the mid-1960s. The Dugan family has a long history in dairy farming, featuring a fourth-generation legacy.

Cow Care and Comfort

The dairy farms prioritize the comfort of the cows, featuring innovative designs such as shaded eating areas and cooling systems. Cows are fed specially designed rations regulated by a nutritionist to ensure their health and milk production.

Milking Process

The barn used for milking is a large facility that was once the largest single-station milking barn in the world. The milking machines automatically clean and gather data on milk production, incorporating advanced technology in the process.

Milk Processing

After milking, the milk is quickly chilled and directed to storage tanks for further processing. This ensures that the milk remains fresh and clean before it is sent to processing facilities.

Nutritional Management

The cows’ diets include a variety of nutritional components, and feed is mixed using large industrial equipment. The farm also practices sustainable practices by using milk from cows not fit for human consumption to feed calves.

Trivia and History

Interesting historical anecdotes are shared about the dairy farm, including its connection to John Wayne, who had a feed lot in the area during the 1960s. This adds context to the farm’s name and heritage.
