Cooperatives Working Together announced on July 17th that it has tentatively accepted 209 bids in its herd retirement program, representing 25,474 cows and 440 million pounds of milk.
Starting next week, CWT field auditors will begin visiting the 209 farms whose bids were accepted, checking their milk production records, inspecting their herds, and tagging each cow for processing. All farmers will be notified no later than August 12th as to whether their bid was among those accepted in this fifth herd retirement round.
