Next week!! Join DeLaval at World Dairy Expo for a virtual tour of Rancho Pepper Dairy on Friday, October 2nd at 9:30 am in Mendota 1 of the Exhibition Hall.

Established in 1988, Rancho Pepper Dairy originally housed a double-27 parallel milking parlor and freestall barns situated on 2,000 acres. The farm transitioned to organic production in 2006 and has since expanded to 4,400 acres dedicated entirely to pasture. In 2022, the operation advanced further by installing North America’s first DeLaval VMS batch-milking facility, which utilizes 22 VMS V300 units in a double-11 parallel parlor configuration. This automated system allows the herd to graze from March until October while receiving twice-daily milking with minimal labor requirements. This virtual farm tour will feature interviews from Dr. Juan Velez, Chief Agricultural Officer, Craig Edwards, Vice President of Farm Services and Nelson Rodriguez, General Manager of Rancho Pepper Dairy.
