California Dairies, Inc.

Here at California Dairies, Inc. every day is #CowAppreciationDay, but today we show some extra love for our amazing CDI cows! At CDI, our member-owners have an unwavering commitment to their well-being. These family farmers take immense pride in providing exceptional care for their herds, ensuring access to clean water, nutritious feed, comfortable and shaded resting areas, soakers and misters to keep them cool on warm days, and regular veterinary checkups - all to keep these important ladies happy and healthy. Our cows are the heart of CDI, and we do our best to make them feel that way. After all, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy our delicious, high-quality CDI products without them! Let’s raise a glass of that delicious and nutritious milk to our cows and the dedicated member-owners who care for them! #cowappreciationday #californiadairiesinc

Over the past few years, #Starbucks has been partnering with dairy cooperatives and farmers to implement solutions across our supply chain and is positioned to expand within its company-operated markets around the world. I am thrilled we are able to highlight California Dairies, Inc. and Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative as two of our major dairy cooperative partners on this sustainability journey with us. We are proud to support your farmer members and we look forward to highlighting more of our US dairy cooperative partners this next year as the work kicks off. Also big kudos to our Starbucks China and Canada partners for their hard work in launching this work in their markets. #sustainability #sustainabledairy #progressreport https://lnkd.in/gY7dvCgh

California Dairies, Inc. (CDI) is pleased to share the recent announcement by Elanco Animal Health that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its comprehensive, multi-year review of Bovaer® (3-NOP), a first-in-class methane-reducing feed ingredient, and determined the product meets safety and efficacy requirements for use in lactating dairy cattle. “CDI is excited about a solution for the reduction of enteric methane, which has followed the rigorous review of the FDA and created a path forward for future interventions that the entire supply chain can feel comfortable with,” said Darrin Monteiro, CDI’s Vice President of Sustainability and Member Relations. This is a critical milestone for dairy farmers, food companies, consumers, and the environment, creating value for farmers while helping meet sustainability goals. Feeding one tablespoon of Bovaer per lactating dairy cow per day can reduce methane emissions by about 30% or approximately 1.2 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions annually.

Cheers to 30 Years of Producing Quality Products at Tipton! We are proud to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our Tipton milk processing facility!

Three original staff members who continue to work at this location were on hand to celebrate this milestone. They have seen the facility grow and change over the years, and their dedication is a true testament to our team spirit. Join us in congratulating Tipton on their 30 years of success!
