Cabot, a Vermont cooperative, is looking to roll out dairy-based dog treats sometime in the second quarter of the year, CEO and President Ed Townley told the Valley News. “They’ll be made from the trim left over from processing in Cabot’s own cheese factories, and will be sold in 3-ounce packages,” the article says. This is a part of a new initiative to find new markets for the milk industry, which is seeing an increased interest, despite recent oversupply.

Meanwhile, St. Albans isn’t planning to go into cheese production anytime soon, the article says, “but its leaders are looking for other markets for products like the co-op’s skim milk solids.”
