Midwest Dairy Institute, Milbank South Dakota
The Midwest Dairy Institute is an operating 2000 cow dairy farm owned and operated by the Milbank Community Foundation.  The cows are milked three times a day on a 40 stall rotary parlor.  Housing for the lactating cows is in free stall barns bedded with digester solids.  The dry cows and springing heifers are housed in a compost pack barn.  We raise our heifer calves from birth to 90 days of age before they are moved to contract heifer growers.
