Prime Dairy Hits Major Milestone: 10,000 Cows and Expanding Output

Prime Dairy has announced a remarkable achievement, expanding its herd to over 10,000 milking cows across its farms in north-west Tasmania and south-west Victoria. This rapid growth establishes Prime Dairy as a leading commercial producer in Australia, significantly enhancing its influence in the dairy sector.

The operation's expansion is projected to boost production levels to over 50 million litres of milk and four million kilograms of milk solids this year. This increased output underscores the efficiency of Prime Dairy's operations, ensuring it meets both domestic and international demand.

Strategically based in north-west Tasmania, Prime Dairy’s location has shielded it from the drought and flood conditions affecting other regions. This advantageous positioning has facilitated stable and high-quality milk production.

This milestone represents not only Prime Dairy’s growth but also reflects broader trends in the Australian dairy industry. The company’s ability to scale effectively while maintaining production quality offers insights into strategic agricultural management and resilience in facing climatic challenges.

As Prime Dairy continues to expand, its contributions to the national milk supply and dairy markets are expected to grow, supporting Australia’s role as a major dairy exporter.
