Upon arrival, investigators observed bison and their young at the entrance of the 2000 acres Empire Dairy facility. Approx. 4000 cows were in the pen area, all separated by age. Hundreds of calf huts were seen, indicating that the dairy farm raises their own heifers on site. All animals visible from the road were in good condition.
