Cooperatives Working Together is implementing its third herd
retirement in 2009, effective October 1, 2009. All bids submitted must be postmarked no later
than October 15, 2009. This is the fourth herd retirement that CWT has conducted in the past
12 months.
“The herd retirement of late 2008, plus the two herd retirements so far in 2009, have removed
226,000 cows from the nation’s dairy herds,” said Jerry Kozak, President and CEO of the
National Milk Producers Federation, which manages Cooperatives Working Together. “Those
efforts have helped adjust the supply of milk more in line with demand. This third herd
retirement of 2009, along with a stabilizing global economy, should further accelerate the
recovery in dairy farmers’ prices.”
