One I found this out, I happen to have a friend that works at the processing plant and asked him and they bottle mike for quite a few brands because their name brand does not sell well due to cost.
Same cows, same processing, same bottles different label for Wal-Mart.
Never had a issue with any milk here. We go through 2-3 gallons weekly.

PS: Should this not be in food? (unless this is the daily Wal-Mart bashing thread
)
I agree completely with the above.
Up here we most commonly have Morning Glory and Kemp's Dairy products. I have been fortunate enough to be stuck behind the Morning Glory truck as it traveled from the WalMart to the local grocery store. Same product but a much lower price at WalMart. I will choose WalMart. Much like any other same name product, why not purchase for less.
With that said, I have grown fond of the Kwik Trip gas station dairy products lately.
BTW: We drink 1 to 1 1/2 gallons of the cheapest milk I can find a DAY.
