The current price of a dairy cows depends on many factors:
1. The breed. Holstien, Jersey, Geurnsey, Brown Swiss, Irish Dexter?
2. The age of the animal.
3. If it is open, bred, or freshened.
4. If it is being sold with this year's calf.
5. Where you live-prices vary considerably from state to state and country to country.
Right now,in the state of Missouri, a Holstein cow that is freshened and bred back, will cost you approximatly $1200. Jersey's are approx. the same. Brown Swiss and Dexter's are a little more exotic, so they tend to be more expensive.

Dairy cattle
It is not possible to answer this question since the price cycle for cattle prices cycles every 10 years, thus it is impossible to get an average over this considerable time period. It is also impossible to answer since it depends on the age, weight and type/breed of these calves.
So with 80 head of cattle, we have a 1:3 ratio of dairy to beef, respectively. That translates to: for every head of dairy cattle there are three beef cattle. Since, mathematically, 80 total head of cattle with a 1:3 ratio don't really work out to nice, round numbers, we will have to work with fractions and such. 1:3 ratio can be converted to a fraction: 1/3. 1/3=0.3333333... So, with 80 head of cattle, we find the number of dairy cattle: 80 x (1/3) = 26.66666666.... Which we could round off to 26 dairy cattle. Since we have 80 total head, we subtract to find how many beef cattle are in the herd: 80 - 26 = 54. So the answer is thus: If there are 80 head of cattle, and the ratio of dairy to beef cattle is 1:3, then there are 26 dairy cattle and 54 beef cattle.

milk is part of dairy
