Document Description
Minor Modification No. MIM 21-040 and Research Request No. REA 21-067 requests a herd consolidation to transfer 2,895 animal units to the Decade Dairy (ID# 359, PSP 99-121), increasing the herd size from 4,989 AU to 7,884 AU. MIM 21-040 also requests to permit the ability to commercially compost at this facility and to drop the milk cow restriction of the permitted herd. No physical changes will be made to the existing bovine facility (i.e, the project does not include the construction of any new structures). The requested increase in herd size will be attained through the consolidation of animal units and transferring them from the Valley View East Dairy (transfer of 400 animal units) and the Church Dairy (transfer of 2,495 animal units) to the Decade Dairy.
