All In The Family
Way back in the forties, Otto Perrazo, an Italian immigrant to the U.S. started a dairy in Stillwater, which had six cows. Today, the dairy has been passed down from father to son to grandsons and is a 550-cow dairy which is state of the art and where milking is done twice a day.
You can still see the old barn from which Otto began the business those many years ago. They’ve sure come a long way considering that they milk eighty cows an hour now! Everything is computerized – from knowing how much protein to put in the feed to mix and measure it and dump it into the troughs. Why, the cows even have pedometers attached to their feet so they can tell when she is in heat – apparently they take many more steps then. They also store their own material to conduct artificial insemination on the cows.
Well, they have the distinction of having produced the most amount of milk in the county so they just have to have got it right!
