Hello, my name is Julianna Campbell, and I am a Juniata County Dairy Miss. I want to remind everyone to get three servings of dairy everyday.
Udderly amazing dairy facts:
• About 73 percent of calcium available in the food supply is provided by milk and milk products.
• Dairy farms are located in all 50 states. The top milk producing states are California, Wisconsin, Idaho, Texas and New York.
• Milk arrives at your grocery store within 48 hours of leaving the farm.
• Dairy cows eat about 100-150 pounds of feed every day.
• Cows are red-green color blind. They see the world in shades of yellow/brown, blue and gray.
Did you know that just like the United States, the dairy industry in Ireland is strong. Ireland has about 1.5 million dairy cows. The United States has about 9.3 million. Since it is St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to share a fun recipe with you for the holiday.
