  Our milk comes from
the farm in trucks. After it is tested for penicillin it is pumped into one of two 20,000
gallon silos. |
|
  The milk then goes into a large cooler where it is ready to be loaded onto
one of our trucks for prompt delivery. We deliver to many different places such as grocery
stores, schools, and restaurants. Some of the gallons are loaded onto bossies. A bossy is
like a large shelf with wheels that holds 120 gallons of milk. They are loaded and rolled
onto semi trucks and taken to the larger stores. They are rolled into the stores cooler
for the customer to take the milk off of. |
 After the milk is run for the day comes one of the most important
part of our  job,
clean up. All of the machines are washed and sanitized. Our tanks and pipes are washed at
very high temperatures by a computer controlled system. A clean dairy provides safe milk
that stays fresh longer. |
We hope you have enjoyed this tour of our facilities. |

It
is held there until it is ready to be processed. The milk then goes through the separator
which spins the milk removing impurities and separating the cream. This allows us to
control the butterfat content of the milk. Then it goes into the pasteurize where the milk
is heated to kill bacteria. In the
homogenizer the milk is put under
2000 lbs. of pressure this "squeezes" the milk and butter fat together which
gives the milk a smooth texture. From there it goes to storage tanks, silos, or vats. The
milk is kept cold while it is waiting to go to one of our filling machines. The milk then
goes through a network of Stainless steel pipes to one of our six filling machines. We
fill five gallon bags used in restaurants, cafeterias, etc. Gallon bottles,half gallons,
quarts, pints, and half pints.
