Foremost Farms USA, one of the largest dairy cooperatives in the nation, has sold its Golden Guernsey and Morning Glory milk bottling plants in Waukesha and De Pere to Dean Foods Co. (DF), a Dallas-based food and beverage distributor.

The plants, employing 282 people, will continue operating and buying milk from area dairy farmers, according to Foremost Farms.

The sale includes the Golden Guernsey and Morning Glory brands. It also means that Foremost Farms will focus exclusively on its wholesale dairy products business and will no longer be a retailer.
