Milking Parlor Wax Melt

Rich butterscotch & mouth-watering cookie dough with butter and cream notes make up this addictive scent.

Dairy farmers are active members of their local community and create an estimated 900,000 jobs in the US.  The invention of pasteurization in the early 1900’s allowed for a safer product and extended milk’s shelf life by eradicating bacteria. Did you know there are roughly 340 “squirts” in a gallon milk?  Before milking machines were invented in 1984, farmers could only milk about 6 cows per hour but with new technology and researching what makes the animals most comfortable, it takes less than 5 minutes to milk a cow with a milking machine.  The average dairy cow gives more than 7 gallons of milk each day, that’s 400 glasses of milk!  Dairy products like milk, cheese & yogurt provide 9 essential nutrients along with calcium, a major nutrient that helps build strong bones!

According to the USDA, 98% of US dairy farms are still family owned and operated. Visit www.americandairy.com for more information.
