Objective of this study was to investigate the current status of dairy farms in Chiang Mai. A hundred dairy farmers from DPO's members, 20.00 % of total, were randomly selected to represent the population. The methodology used in this study included interview schedule, researcher's commentaries and farm records from DPO's office. The study indicated that the farmers have been experienced in dairy farm for less than 10 years and most of the farms were classified as small farm (1-10 dairy cattle/farm) with average area of 3.26 rai. (1 rai=1600 square m). The farmers started the farms from pregnant cows purchased and most of them raised HF-crossbed as dairy cattle. Results from feeding regimes showed that none of the farmers mixed their own ration for their stock and the feeds were bought in. Milk feeding for replacement female were adequate but period of concentrate feeding were short. Average milk yield per number of cow in farm were 5.68 and 4.67 Kg/day in small and large farm, respectively.
