Where to find beef goulash in cow?
Most goulash I have seen is made with ground beef, which comes from trim from all the steaks and other cuts from the entire carcass. Ground beef is made from skeletal muscle.
What does the cow's first milk provide for her calf?
The "first milk" is called colostrum, and provides immunoglobins and antibodies for the calf to ensure its survival during the first few hours of its life.
Yes. The diseases found in cattle are the following:
- milk fever
- shipping fever (BRDC or Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex)
- tick fever (Texas fever)
- anaplasmosis
- dystocia
- mastitis
- tuberculosis
- blackleg
- pink eye
- grass tetany (extr. fatal if not caught early)
- foot-and-mouth disease
- bloat

You cant sell the cow and drink the milk?
If you sell the cow you will no longer get any milk as you do not own the cow anymore.
Milk which has been prepared organically- no growth hormones (such as the recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, rBGH) or antibiotics are used, and cattle graze on grass which hasn't been sprayed with pesticides.
Organic Milkis milk that contains carbon. Look up the definition of "organic" in the dictionary. "Organic" means "containing carbon". All milk contains carbon. And therefore all milk is organic.
Organic milk is TASTY milk!!
What if you don't milk a dairy cow and use it for beef?
Nothing wrong with that. Dairy cows are slaughtered for beef as culls anyway, so it's no big deal if you slaughter a dairy cow and turn her into ground beef.
This is a pretty unreliable means of telling when a cow will start to calve, or even especially a first-calver, which I assume is the case with this two-year-old "cow" of yours! (At this age she's still called a heifer, by the way.) A heifer can bag up and have really full teats and she'll still not drop a calf until a week or three later. And what's even more interesting is that a heifer can even NOT be bagging up real tight until AFTER the calf hits the ground!
So, with that I would really look at her "girly" parts (being the vulva, especially) to truly tell if and when she's close to calving. As mentioned in the related question below, her vulva should be loose, floppy, even swollen looking, and have a clear, non-sticky discharge. The tail head will have sunken down, the belly will have dropped, and the thurls will have sunken in. If she's got a loose and floppy vulva, she will be close to calving in around 24 to 48 hours.
So, please see the related question below for more details.
On average how many cows contribute to a gallon of milk?
A cow produces about five gallons a day. But, the gallon of milk in the store contains some milk from every cow on the farm. All the milk is sent through the process together and gets mixed together in the tanks. Being you probably buy your milk in the grocery store and not from a farmer, there are thousands of cows milk processed together from not one farm, but from hundreds of farms at the creamery. So an average is fairly hard to come by as it depends upon many variables. Some large farms send nearly 80,000 lbs of milk or more per day while a small farm may send as little as 400 lbs.
Does the sex of a pregnant goat's fetus affect udder development and milk yield?
Nope. Only the doe and her genetics is responsible for how her udder will form and how much milk she will produce.
What treatment should you give a lactating cow?
None, unless that cow is showing some sign if illness. Don't treat the symptoms, treat the actual disease.
What state produces the most rice?
In 2009 the top rice producing states were Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas
Does a quart of milk weigh more than a quart of cream?
Yes. I would certainly think so since the cream used to float to the top in unhomogonized milk when we got our delivery from Cream Valley Dairy in Woodstown in West Jersey. We would order 7 of Holstein (for regular use) and 1 of Jersey (for the cream) most days. One decanted the cream from the top. Dad used it for his coffee and Mom for home cooking. It's specific density must have been less even though it looked thicker - counterintuitively. So one should check by a densitomer, which is what we used on the farm. I would help with bringing in the cows, washing them and the stalls, and cooling the milk quickly from the age of 4. One learns that cleanliness is imperative in order to produce an Imperative Quart. Spoilage would be a disaster for the farmer and could be deadly. I knew at 4 that if we lost a day's production of milk that we would be in big trouble. I used to kid Dad, calling the homogonized milk, "demoralized milk". It didn't work as well for churning butter or making "Scmerkaese". Until a later science show [Dr?name?], we didn't know that one didn't need milk or cream to make butter - just two chemicals ! We can still get home delivered milk in glass bottles at South Mountain Creamery [q.v.] in Bolivar, nr. Middletown, Frederick Co., Maryland, just below Fox's Gap on the Appalachian Trail. I treat the hikers to a few pints of their outstanding ice cream if possible. One may need an emulsifying agent to remix the separated cream.
How many gallons of milk can a cow prouduse in five moths?
That all depends on the breed. Are you asking about a dairy cow or a beef cow, and what breed of dairy or beef cow?

Does Federal milk marketing order regulates retail milk prices of fluid milk?
Technicaly, no, the milk marketing order regulates the price that dairy farmers receive. Obviously, the consumer price and the farm price are linked, so in the end the USDA regulates both prices. For more information try
