El-VI Farms LLC

El-VI Farms LLC EL-VI Farms is a multi-family partnership that milks about 2000 cows and grows feed for the animals o The farm is currently run by five partners.

EL-VI Farms has been a family-owned farm since 1953 at the present location. Prior to that, the name, EL-VI FARMS, was created in 1948 by Elmer and Viola Peck, when the farm was located near Phelps, NY. The company has 24 full-time employees, 18 part-time employees, and 4 students. We have about 1300 milking cows and they milk between 80-88 pounds/day (~35-40 kg). They milk three times a day. The

farm has two milking tanks containing 52,000 pounds(23,587 kg) and 48,000 pounds (21,772 kg) respectively. To reduce the noise in the milking parlor the milking machines are installed in the basement below the milking parlor. A milk "chiller" is being installed to instaneously chill the milk to 37 degrees before it enters the tank. The cows are sprinkled with water when it gets hot in the freestall barn. These cows barns also have tunnel ventilation. The cows mattresses are sturdy canvas-like material over either chopped rubber or rubber padding. Split rubber tires are being used as mattresses for the young heifers, as it's a cheap and functional method. The cows have transponders on their left leg which are identified by a computer when the cows come to the parlor. The system has worked fine, without any big problems. Dairy solids(manure with most of the liquid squeezed out) are mixed with lime to reduce bacteria and recycled as bedding in most of the freestalls. Straw is used as bedding in the maternity barn and in the calf housing. The liquid manure byproduct of manure separation is pumped to lagoons to be stored until spread on the fields at the optimum time.

UPDATE: owner located.

Neighbors and local followers:

This sweet dog was found at our Burnett rd (Lyons) location. It is very friendly and hungry but no tags. Any leads on a possible owner would be wonderful.

There’s something about fresh hay!

Around 4-8 weeks of age a calf’s rumen stomach compartment starts to become functional. It’s important that we provide forages like hay to their diet to help the development of the rumen.

Cow comfort is a top priority!

Cows spend 12 to 14 hours each day lying down, chewing their cud, and resting. That time isn’t wasted, it’s essential for their comfort, health and milk production. To support this, farmers focus on providing clean, comfortable bedding that helps cows make the most of those hours. There are seve...
