This dairy milks 6000 cows 365 days per year 24 hours per day producing 7 truckloads of milk per day.
There are 2000 dairymen in
California with an average size of 600 cows. That makes 1.2 million dairy cows in CA, the largest producing state in the US.
There so good at it they have oversupplied the local market and are now going broke. There cost of production is so high they can't even
compete with
Aus & NZ

Great photos - you must have a good camera - and lots of artistic talent!
Did you see the Monterey Aquarium - I guess no time.
Dan - Amazing agriculture, you should be able to do that in Oz!
The mind boggles at 6000, but at least it looks a bit more open and airy than the one we saw in Pennsylvania. Assume it wasn't a robotic system like the Mason-Dixon one either - did they have a big rotary?
