About Silverstreak Dairies, LLP

Three Minnesota sites (Silverstreak Dairy, Bluestreak Dairy, Greenstreak Dairy) and one South Dakota site (Warner Dairy) equate to Silverstreak Dairies LLC. Each dairy site has its own function and specialty that helps us maintain healthy cows, strong employees, and opportunities for growth. Silverstreak Dairy is our "mother farm." We focus on transitioning cows from their dry period through calving and into the lactating herd for our dairy and our sister dairies, Bluestreak and Greenstreak. We milk 1,000 cows in a double-18 parallel parlor three times a day and house all the dry cows from the three Minnesota sites (Silverstreak, Bluestreak, Greenstreak), totaling around 500. Bluestreak Dairy was the second of the Streak dairies purchased in 2003. We milk 680 cows in a double-12 herringbone parlor three times a day. Here we house our larger, older cows who fit well in the herringbone parlor and who enjoy a shorter walking distance to and from the parlor. With 10-full time employees this place ticks right along with high milk production and strong reproduction. Greenstreak Dairy is located in Borup, Minnesota, a little farther north than its sister farms, but equally as productive! This farm’s focus is getting our younger cows off to a strong start for their productive life ahead. At Greenstreak we milk 2,200 cows in a double 24-parallel parlor, some milking at 2X or 3X. At this site we buy all our feeds and forages and build strong relationships with our neighbors to make this possible. Warner Dairy is located in Warner, South Dakota and has 2,000 cows milking 3X in a 48-stall rotary parlor. Warner Dairy is mainly a milking and freshening facility for the cows, which are bred to Angus semen. Only fresh cows with a lactation greater than one and dry cows live on this farm. Warner generates a large number of the Angus-cross calves because we have a better market to sell the calves in SD compared to MN.
