Finally, this nation is taking seriously the discrimination that has been going for far too long. Thanks to the NBA, NFL, MLB and several other organizations, a change is coming. Those who support the need for these changes include hundreds of respected, retired military generals and former White House administration officials from both parties. Much of this country was built on the backs of others who weren’t afforded the same rights of the majority. God Bless America!

Cattle CONNECTION November 2020
It’s all about the cow! Her comfort is our passion!
It’s that time of year when the international dairy community comes together in Madison. We missed the energy and excitement of World Dairy Expo this year, the buzz in the barns, the competition and emotion in the arena, seeing amazing cows, watching dreams come true and storied legacies unfold, hearing about new innovations, talking with producers, renewing friendships with colleagues and customers, sharing fellowship and ideas. We wish our amazing customers all the best - continuing traditions and forging new ones, pursuing excellence while navigating uncertainty...
setting goals and working hard to achieve them, investing in future generations and supporting communities in need, looking for ways to compete, challenge and encourage each other, sharing a passion for the amazing dairy cow. We are proud to be part of the dairy industry. Thank you for making Udder ComfortTM part of the journey. It really is all about the cow! Her comfort is our passion.
