How are Oberweis cows specifically treated?

Question

My mom always buys Oberweis milk and I refuse to drink milk from a poorly treated cow.

Answer 1

I LIVE IN THE CHICAGO AREA TOO AND I HAVE EATEN THEIR ICE CREAM AND DRANK THEIR MILK AND I THINK IT IS DELICIOUS, THEIR COWS ARE NOT MISTREATED IN ANY WAY, THEIR MILK COMES FROM ORGANIC COWS AND THEIR IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OBERWEIS AND THE COWS NEXT DOOR.  THEIR OFFICES AND DAIRY ARE LOCATED IN AURORA, ILLINOIS. MAYBE YOU COULD WRITE THEM A LETTER AND THEY COULD GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION, BETTER THAN I CAM.

Answer 3

Oberweis is most likely just a label, so there isn't one specific dairy that it comes from.  It's going to be a blend of milk from many dairies, so you'd have to dig deeper and see what kind of philosophy the creamery has overall.

Also, cows are expensive (over $2000 each) so it's counter to logical thinking to believe that dairy farmers mistreat them.  Would you invest your life savings into something and then mistreat it?

Answer 4

They are treated horribly, I would bet on it.
