​Today, we care for 2,200 cattle throughout their entire life-cycle.

Our Mission at Malecha Dairy is to ship quality milk daily ​and to maintain the health & comfort of our employees & cows.

Milk Cows

Our milk cows head to the parlor 3 times a day, and enjoy the highest quality feed when lactating.

​Our barns feature fans and sprinklers for cooling and fly control for added cow comfort.

Calves

Quality care starts with our calves. Individual calf hutches ensure each animal receives hands-on attention.

Heifers

Our heifer barns provide comfortable shelter for our heifers.

Dry Cows

​As their milk production slows, dry cows move into pens to rest, prepare for another calf and are then kept comfortable on bedded packs for pre-care and post care before re-joining as a milk cow.

About Our Dairy

Today, the dairy has 2,200 cattle-raised through the entire life-cycle. The dairy business includes:

• Calf hutches for newborns
• Comfortable heifer facility (2013)
• Free-stall barn has 6 rows with 696 stalls
  • Manure folites and straw bedding
  • Fans and sprinklers for cooling, fly control and cow comfort
  • Lights run on photocells or a timer
  • Footbaths
  • Storage pit for manure removal
• Milk room - two 8,000-gallon tanks; a 5,000-gallon wastewater tank; and a 1,890-gallon flush tank
• ICU barn - holds 3 groups of cows (close to calving, fresh and a dump group)

Each cow wears a RFID button in their ear. When entering the parlor, she is identified and the computer records how much milk she gave and how long she took to milk. This also helps detect sick cows or cows in heat. ​
