QTPie's Critter Facts
Cows are referred to as the foster mothers of the human race
because they produce most of the milk that people drink.
The first cow in America arrived in Jamestown colony in 1611. Until
the 1850's, nearly every family had its own cow. The first regular
shipment of milk by railroad was between Orange County, New York,
and New York City and began in 1841.
In 1856, Gail Borden invented the condensed milk process. This
process removed some of the water from milk so it would take up
less space. Refrigeration came into use in 1880, and the first
pasteurizing machine was introduced in 1895.
Dairying has improved through the years. Today, one cow can produce
the milk that it once took 10 cows to produce.
Around 9.2 million cows are being milked on 110,000 farms in the
United States. More than 99% of all dairy farms are family owned
and operated.
Cows are milked for an average of 3-4 years.
Dairy cows provide 90% of the world's milk supply. The best cows
give over 25 gallons of milk each day. That's 400 glasses of milk!
U.S. cows give an average of 2,000 gallons of milk per year. That's
over 30,000 glasses of milk!
Cows drink about a bathtub full of water and eat around 40 pounds
of food a day.
