How much money does a Wisconsin dairy cow produce?
None. Dairy cows produce milk, not money.
Are female beef cows milk cows?
No. Cows are female, they're mature female bovines that have had a calf. Beef cows are genetically selected to produce more beefy frames than dairy cows are, and thus only produce enough milk for their calves. Beef cows are typically not selected for increased milk quantity like other dairy breeds are (including Holstein, Jersey and Brown Swiss), and thus, unlike dairy cows, do not produce so much milk that their one calf can't drink it all at one nursing.
Do beef cows have the same size and type of udders as dairy cows do?
No. Dairy cows have much larger udders than beef cows do. A dairy cow has been selected to produce more milk than what she can feed her calf to meet the farmers' demands for more milk to be produced per cow per day.
What is dairy farming?
A Dairy farm is a farm where the main aim of the enterprise is the production of milk. Dairy does not specifically refer to cattle, a dairy could also milk goats, sheep, camels or any other mammal that lactates.
Do grass fed cows produce more nutritional milk?
Yes, it is much healthier. Grass fed cows produce about 6 times the amount of CLA than grain fed cows do. CLA(conjugated linoleic acid) is a heart healthy fat. Grass fed milk also has a high amount of omega-3 fatty acids and is loaded with vitamins.
Why would farmers breed cows that produce more milk?
Since this is weighted more towards dairy cattle rather than beef, higher milk production means higher income income generated on milk sold, especially in the United States where there is no cap or quota as to how much milk (or milk fat, as is the case with supply management in Canada) can be sold per day, month or year. Production weighs heavily towards the amount of milk that a farmer can get from his dairy cows, so if he breeds for higher or maximum milk production in his dairy herd, the more income that he should expect to have to cover other costs incurred in a typical dairy farm operation.

In a way yes it does because holstiens are one of the biggest breeds of cows a they give a lot depending on how much you feed them
How much does a holstein cow weigh in lactation?
It depends in the breed! If you are talking about dairy cows the average Holstein Cow weights 1,300lbs give or take a couple hundred pounds. But that is for a mature cow. Dairy cows usually have their first calf at about 2 years old and not considered mature until they are about 5 or 6 years old!!! Cows only start producing milk when they have their first calf. Holsteins are the most common dairy cows in the world and the biggest and largest of the dairy cows. Jerseys are much smaller for example!
