The McCray’s have been transitioning their dairy into an agrotourism venue by reducing the heard size and sending male calves and mothers to a sanctuary instead of slaughter.

One future advocate …
You know those moments when someone from your team does something that makes you stop and think, “This is why we do what we do”? That’s happening on Sunday, November 16.
