Dairy farmers work 365 days a year, even on holidays, to make sure we have milk and dairy foods. On Thanksgiving, Christmas or any other holiday, caring for the cows is still their top priority. But even though they don’t get to take these special days off, dairy farmers love to honor holiday traditions that bring their families together.
