Well I personally know quite a few dairy owners that milk around 200 cows. Not sure if you call that small or big, but to me that is small compared to the massive farms in the US.
In the US, eggs are the same way. Massive farms have taken over, pushing out the small guy. Hard to compete if you're making pennies on the dollar profit wise.
Not sure if I want to go that route. The US has a mess when it comes to 'big food.'
