Dyelands Dairy LLC is Dyecrest Dairy's newest venture.  This small dairy was purchased in July 2011 from Erin Barkey and is named after the little dairy that Terry grew up on south of West Winfield, New York.   
Pictured to the right is our holding pen.

Dyelands is only four miles south-east of Dyecrest.  It is an open-lot dairy on 55 acres with a Double-6 Bou-Matic parlor.  There is corral space for 400 milking cows with permanent shades, one nice farm house and a very large commodity shed.

Since the purchase we have installed a new 8,000 gallon bulk milk tank so milk can be picked up every other day with a Quad-trailer.  The original 2,000 gallon bulk tank has been retained to milk into while the big tank is being emptied and washed.  The holding pen has been enlarged to hold 100 cows and a new Vandenburg crowd gate installed.  There is also a new special needs pen and treatment
area.

Dyelands is strickly a "cow milking" operation.  Eventually it will milk 400 cows 3X/day.  There will be one milker per eight hour shift with the same 3 days on and one day off that Dyecrest utilizes.  All dry cows are moved to Dyecrest when they are dried off.  They calve at Dyecrest and are returned to Dyelands when they are milking good.  All calves and heifers are raised by Dyecrest.

Dyelands should be a nice addition to Dyecrest Dairy.
