Why does organic milk turn black?
It shouldn't be anymore likely to blacken than regular milk. Milk needs to be kept refrigerated at all times, and leaving it out will promote the growth of bacteria, which would explain the black coloration.
If my cow gives 47 pounds of milk how many liters is that?
A liter is the same as kg. 47 lbs = 21.3 kg = 21.3 liters. Milk weighs almost exactly the same as water Raw milk doesn't weigh the same as water because of the solids content of milk, so you can't do a straight conversion of mass to volume: 47 lb. milk * 8.6 lb/gal = 5.47 gallons 5.47 gallons * 3.7854 liter/gal = 20.69 liters in 47 lb. raw milk
Why does mens urine produce bubbles?
When men pee into a urinal this creates indeed a frothy foam on top of the surface. This is partially caused by a thin stream of watery liquid being shot at a relatively narrow (but deep) pool of water -- ideal froth conditions. Plus urine seems to have a higher surface tension, which is guess is owed to the presence of substances such as glucose and proteins, both of which are sticky.
In my limited experience, female urine is no less frothy than men's. Only women tend to use a closet rather than a urinal when they need to widdle.
No. A tiger is better off drinking water, not cows milk. Most cats like tigers are lactose intolerant, so it will do more harm than good if a tiger drinks cows' milk.

Why are dairy farms and beef cattle ranching located in different areas?
Dairy cattle require more higher nutritive feeds than beef cattle do, and so need to be raised in an area where these higher nutritive feeds can be raised and fed to them. Dairy farms are located on or near the "corn belt" or an area of land on the North American continent where crops can grow and have high quantity and quality yields. Pastures in this area where some dairy farms allow their cows and heifers to graze during the summer months (or those months where grass grows the lushest) also need to have this high quantity and quality of grasses. The area also needs to be level and flat enough that barns and silos can be built and that are easily accessible to farm equipment used on the dairy farm.
Beef cattle, on the other hand, are raised in areas where they are on pasture all the time and do not require much human input. Beef cattle can be raised in areas where dairy cattle are raised, or in much more rougher terrain like down in the desert of southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas. Beef cows have a much lower nutritive requirement to thrive and feed a calf than dairy cows do, and so are much more flexible where they can be raised.
Which would an animal breeder use to produced cows that give more milk?
Selective breeding, selecting for bulls and cows that have better milking ability, breeding those animals together and culling out the cows that have less than average or inferior milking ability. Bulls with less-than-ideal milking ability are not used on such cows.
Does weather effect cows milk?
It can, particularly if stormy weather is causing stress among the herd. Sunny, warm weather makes them relaxed, but weather that is too hot can hamper milk production as well.
