A moment worth sharing!

We're excited to share the winning video from the Heart of Dairy competition, which was showcased at the Large Herds Conference.

Congratulations to Lactimar in the Eastern Cape on this well deserved recognition. The video beautifully captures the passion, dedication and strong relationships between dairy farmers, their cows and the teams who care for them every day.

It's a wonderful reminder of the people at the heart of South Africa's dairy industry. If you haven't seen it yet, take a moment to watch. It’s guaranteed to leave you smiling.

A sincere thank you to Tip-Top Milk!

The Milk Producers' Organisation (MPO) is proud to thank Tip Top for sponsoring a refrigerated vehicle to support the transport of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccines.

This generous contribution will help ensure vaccines reach dairy producers safely and efficiently, as our industry continues its response to the FMD challenge.

Partnerships like this show the strength of our sector when we work together. Thank you, Tip Top, for your commitment to the Primary Dairy Industry and for making a real difference to our industry's resilience.

Together, we will beat FMD.
