Dairy farming involves the long-term production of milk from dairy cows, goats, sheep and camels for processing and sale. It originated in Europe where climate supported natural pasture. Dairy farms require a large labor force and huge capital investments to care for cattle using machines for milking, feeding and cleaning, though some tasks are still done by hand.
