Dairying in New Mexico: 10,000 cattle, 1,500 acres
“I simply told my dad that I did not see a whole lot of old guys climbing around on their knees laying carpets,” said the towering Californian, on his path from carpets in Oregon to dairy farming in New Mexico.
“My dad and my uncle were in partnership together. My dad asked me if I wanted to buy my uncle out.” Ted and his father have three farms and 10,000 animals. They deliver one million gallons of milk to market each month.
