That's kinda the thing about dairy farms in America, particularly milk. It spoils. Americans don't drink UHT milk. The relative newness of the "Eat Locally Grown" movement is interesting when it comes to fresh dairy products. All the dairy farms are local, always have been. They might all be labeled under a particular brand group, but each of the packages has a code that identifies the individual dairy farm where it came from. I used to live close to one that couldn't have had more than 50 cows, probably less than that.
They don't really compete with each other directly, at least east of the Mississippi River. The demand is there, the only thing that brings down farms is when the market price is too low.
So to me, it wasn't weird at all that they were friendly with each other.
