Why doesn't milk curdle in a cow's udder?

There are no enzymes or proteins that would separate out milk into curds and whey for making cheese or other dairy products in the milk that is synthesized in the udder. The alveoli in the udder is where milk is synthesized, where nutrients are taken from the cow's blood supply and combined to make a white fluid rich in fat, calcium, protein and other nutrients, and the whole process of making milk is so that it can flow readily when it is emptied out by the calf or the milk machine. Milk cannot flow freely if it has coagulated, just like if blood coagulates (as when the wrong blood type is injected into a person) it cannot flow smoothly nor properly. Where a human or animal would die in the latter case, the calf or offspring would be unable to nurse and get the neonatal fluid of sustenance and also quite possibly perish. The mother won't die of coagulated milk, but she may eventually suffer from mastitis which, if serious enough, could also cause her to die.

If there are 80 head of cattle in the field and the ratio of dairy cattle to beef cattle is 1 to 3 How many dairy cattle and beef cattle are there?

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.

What are the ideal conditions for rearing dairy cows?
