In California a common billboard sign seen on the sides of the road is one of Clover Stornetta Farm's clever Clo the cow signs; or on TV you have probably heard the common commercials promoting real California milk products. I myself love to promote the dairy industry. I personally feel that agriculture is one of the wisest pursuits. The dairy industry is important to our culture for many reasons, it created over 443,000 jobs which accounts for approximately 3% of the jobs in California. Right now California alone has produced over 41.2 billion pounds of milk. Without the dairy cows and the farmers that dedicate countless numbers of hours to milk them, we would be left without many of the common foods and beverages we consume daily. I currently raise my own dairy heifers which I will sell to a local dairy farmer once they calve and are ready to be put into the milk production line. Looking out in my fields and seeing my girls i can honestly say that "Happy cows do come from California"
