Quite surprisingly, the Geographic Name Information System does not contain any places named Cow in America's Dairyland, Wisconsin. Lots of places named after cows in California and Texas though, along with most of the western states.

Our small family owned dairy farm in North Central Pennsylvania
It's always interesting to watch small dairy farm videos, as they're so common in the hills and hollows of both Northern Pennsylvania and much of New York. Common but kind of a dying breed as milk prices as low, labor is intense and backbreaking on farms, but milk still helps pay some of the farm expenses.
My parents had dairy goats when I was young. I heard stories about moldy cheese and all the work. But still kind of interesting video.
Big dairy farms, with state-of-the-art milking parlors, robots and other technologies are kind of neat, but when it comes down it, dairy farming is pretty much dairy farming, it's still cows, it's still cleaning and hooking milking machines up their teats, feeding them, hauling manure, cleaning bedding pack, etc. I am actually a bit surprised which such a big operation they don't use more milking robots.
