A dairy farmer specializes in the breeding, feeding, and milking of lactating livestock. The role demands strict daily routines, as the animals must be milked and fed at consistent intervals, 365 days a year. Beyond animal husbandry, the job requires managing forage production, manure handling systems, and strict sanitation protocols to meet commercial milk quality standards.
