Description of Activities

The BC Dairy Association (BCDA) is the voice of dairy farmers in British Columbia. The BCDA represents just under 500 dairy farms in British Columbia and BCDA is the third largest dairy-producing province in Canada (Quebec and Ontario are the largest). With an average herd-size of 135 animals per farm, the average farm size is quite modest. The industry is primarily operated by multi-generational family farmers. BC's dairy farmers strive every day to produce top quality milk while practicing sustainable farming and strong animal welfare practices as set out in the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle.
