Dairy farming is a class of agricultural, or an animal husbandry, enterprise, for long-term production of milk, usually from dairy cows but also from goats and sheep, which may be either processed on-site or transported to a dairy factory for processing and eventual retail sale.
Most dairy farms sell the male calves born by their cows, usually for veal production, or breeding depending on quality of the bull calf, rather than raising non-milk-producing stock.[citation needed] Many dairy farms also grow their own feed, typically including corn, and hay. This is fed directly to the cows, or is stored as silage for use during the winter season.
Dairy farming has been part of agriculture for thousands of years. Historically it has been one part of small, diverse farms. In the last century or so larger farms doing only dairy production have emerged. Large scale dairy farming is only viable where either a large amount of milk is required for production of more durable dairy products such as cheese, butter, etc. or there is a substantial market of people with cash to buy milk, but no cows of their own.

All is gone of what I've known,
Now I'm left so all alone.
No windows leading to,
My hardened heart now turned to stone.
Averted eyes downcast gaze,
Seaching for the reasons why,
Things fall, they fall apart,
In my eyes there's nothing wrong.
Watch as this falls away.
Light shines upon my face,
To feel the warmth from your gaze,
The fog separates it's all clear now,
