And a lot of them saying basically, yeah, like with a farm that big, I don't know how you would have really high standards for that many cows. I also got notes from some farmers who I think are really committed to doing it right. This was two dairy farmers in the Northeast.

And they said that they don't like the system as it exists either because there's some really high quality animal welfare certifiers, nonprofits, but there's some that are just industry fronts. If you can just like slap, you know, ethically sourced or certified as humane by so-and-so on any product, that means that it's not fair in an even playing field for all of the farmers either, right?
