November’s production in the Golden State slipped by another 2.3 percent percent, to about 3.27 billion pounds.
Wisconsin added six-thousand cows to its dairy herd in November, for a total of just over one-and-a-quarter million. The state’s production per cow went up by around 70 pounds, to 17-hundred-30 per animal. Idaho, the No. 3 producer, had a two-point-three percent jump in its November milk output. No. 4 New York had a three-point-two percent increase. And No. 5 Pennsylvania had a small increase of four-tenths-of-a-percent.
