you should have at least 10 cows to officially be called a dairy farm. Less than that and you're pretty much only a hobby farm.

How much protein does a 1000 lb pregnant cow need per day?

This question is unable to be answered because we do not know whether this cow is lactating or not, what gestation period she is in, or even what type of cow she is--beef or dairy? Also, the amount of protein a cow gets is not on a per-day basis, it's as a percentage in her diet. Protein requirements for dairy cows is a bit different from beef cows (usually higher).

Why do dairy cows need to be milked everyday?

For many reasons, including the following:Alleviate tension, which causes pain, of the udderEncourage "constant" or rather consecutive milk production--milking regularly encourages regular milk productionOne calf alone cannot drain all the milk out of a dairy cow's udder (unless there are four on her at one time), and because dairy cows have been bred to produce four tiems as much milk as a beef cow would produce, they need to be milked out.Consumers demand "milk, more milk!" all the time. Producers have no choice but to answer to such demands.Mastitis concerns: having a full udder for a long period of time can increase the chance of a cow coming down with mastitis. Studies have shown, interestingly enough, that the more frequently you milk a cow (as in more than twice a day), the less chance there is for cows to get mastitis. (And of course, the more milk a producer gets to sell).

How do you design a dairy shed?

You first need to consider how many cows will be kept in the shed, and how much time you think they will spend in there. This will give you an idea of how large the shed needs to be.Next, you need to confirm where the milking will take place and if it will be done mechanically (or with assistance from machines). This will affect the space as the machinery will need some space.You will also need to factor in a space for refrigeration to ensure the milk is kept fresh.Usually, dairy sheds are pole barns because it allows them to be quite large.There are many shed designs to choose from, so it depends what the rest of the farm looks like. Trying to match the design of the new dairy shed to the rest of the buildings is a good idea.
