who produces GV dairy

As far as I know, WalMart does not produce their own anything, but
they have products that are manufactured by others exclusively for
them.

The back of every box should tell you who the manufacturer is and may
even include contact info.

HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you will be able to find out if the product
came from "abused cows."

The problem with taking Internet Lore at facevalue is that most times,
it's WAY blown out of proportion and nearly impossible to verify.

I'd suggest sticking to a brand you trust and calling it a day. If
you listen to every "warning" out there, pretty soon there won't be
ANYTHING left that you can buy!

Check this site out. It should be able to locate the dairy in which
your milk comes from.

It may be possible to buy local milk from a local farmer. they
generally treat their animals better and likely they are healthier.
Another option is goats milk, my favorite next to almond milk, since I
don't drink cows milk. Good luck and hope you can find something you
are happy with.

Um, I assure you, the majority of dairy cows are horribly treated, not
humanely at all. Organic Valley and Horizon are better bets. I
promise you, the dairy products you're getting from mainstreet dairies
are not treating their animals humanely.

I think that murdering cows for their meat is 'gross act of cruelty"

How did people ever exist before grocery stores?



And to be honest, I really doubt this "abuse" you speak of really
exists the way you're imagining it.


If you ever looked up machine-operated milking operations you'd see
just how "abusive" it really is.

And I say "abusive" very sarcastically. I found a vid of an
automatic milking farm operation and the emphasis was on the fact that
comfortable cows produce more milk.

The cow-comfort in automated farms comes from several facts

- The cow choses when to be milked. No waiting for Farmer X to get to
her, she can just milk herself.

- This also means the cow won't be in any pain. Like human females...
it *hurts* when you're full of milk and can't get rid of it.

- The cows aren't fully separated from the herd while being milked.
the pens are often in view of the rest of the herd. So their stress
levels stay down.




I know it's dramatic to run around saying "cows are being abused"
but... think about it. An abused cow would not give good milk. A
happy stress free cow gives more quality milk.

Which means more profit. Why would someone flush that down the
drain?




Or if you're still not convinced, just buy it directly from the farm.
Then you know where it's from.

The great value brand is a no-frills/store brand/private label - it
the same as any other store brand no matter which store you go to -
the stores take bids from manufactures and the lowest bidder wins. So
who produces the milk/dairy can change depending on who has the lowest
bid at time.

FYI ALERT
LAND OF LAKES ABUSES THEIR COWS SO PLEASE DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS.
View this video to see what kind of abuse they do.
