It’s a mix. Cheapest milk suppliers mostly use indoor feed lots with hundreds of cows. Health food stores usually have a brand that source from dairies like the one in this video. But smaller family owned semi pastured dairies often sell to major milk suppliers too, but in many areas have gone bankrupt and shut down.This looks similar to the farms around me. There is a farm at the end of my street that looks almost identical to the farm in the video. All these little farms in Ontario are part of the milk supply that makes up the major brands. They use hay in the winter as part of their feed. I know this because they cut my hay for me last year and we split the yield (I took some and they took some). Their farms are reasonably clean and I see cows from various farms at pasture in the summer.
I guess it's different in the States?
