Byra Siddeshwara Dairy Farmers Producer Company Limited

Out here in Bairagaon Danahalli, life revolves around the cows. We are a group of dairy farmers situated in the Kadur area of Chickmagalur. It’s a rural spot, and that's how we like it. The air is better than in the cities, but the work is much harder. We wake up early to handle the milking and the collections. Our company is really just a way for us local guys to work together instead of trying to do everything alone. The address in Kadurtalur is where we manage the daily collections and keep the books. It’s not a fancy office, just a place to sit down and figure out the numbers. Sometimes the cows get sick or the milk prices drop, and those are the hard days. We don't have a marketing team or anyone to write fancy speeches for us. We just talk about feed, water, and how to keep the animals healthy. The roads leading to Danahalli can be a bit rough, especially when the monsoon hits. You get used to the mud after a while. Most of us have been farming since we were kids. This company is a way to make sure our families are taken care of. It's a lot of physical labor and long hours. We don't mind it because it's what we know. Being part of Chickmagalur is important to us. We just keep things moving one day at a time, mostly focusing on the milk quality and making sure the trucks arrive on time.
