    June is Dairy Month 🥛, and if you’re looking for dairy stats, @USDA_ERS has you covered. From production to consumption and trade, ERS data and analysis offer insight into the U.S. dairy sector. Follow this thread throughout the month for Dairy by the Numbers.

    Replying to @USDA_ERS and @usda_nass
    Correction: Our National Dairy Month post yesterday listed the 2025 average milk per cow as 24,930 lbs. The correct figure is 24,390 lbs.
    Graphic titled 'Dairy Production' with the USDA Economic Research Service logo at the top. Background shows dairy cows in a grassy field under a blue sky. Statistics include: '231.7 billion pounds — Total U.S. milk production in 2025'; '9.5 million — Average number of U.S. milk cows in 2025'; '24,390 pounds — Average milk per cow in 2025.' A box at the bottom lists the top five milk‑producing States in 2025: California, Wisconsin, Idaho, Texas, and New York, noting they produced more than 50% of annual U.S. milk supply.
