Until purchased the Pet Milk plant in Richmond, local milk processed by Pet was shipped to many areas under the Pet label and the Sego label. The dairy industry has un dergone a transition period from the several plants of years ago, Morning Milk, Sego, in Wellsville, Logan, Richmond, Preston, and from the large Grade A fresh milk processing of the Cache Valley Dairy. The plant in Richmond was the last of the original old milk processing plants, the condensers, and last year the last cans of the condensed milk were snipped out by Pet before converted the plant to cheese, butter and other products, The old Sego plant in is still vacant, the victim of another era that saw a change in the eating habits of the buying public.
