Numerology Class

50,000 farms
Dairy herds of LESS THAN 100 head
(About 17%)

1800 farms
Dairy herds OVER 1000 head

But the number is still significantly lower than 135,000 farms some 20 years ago ...

I'm sure part of this is the fear of diseases beng wider spread by mixing milks from different herds ...

But then ...

 There's something to be said for diversity ...

20 years ago I started having issues drinking milk too ...

Hmmmmm

1,800 Farms
Dairy herds MORE THAN 1,000 head

This number has tripled during the last 20 years ...

Interesting ...

I wonder where their milk goes?

I mean that's a LOT of milk every day ... Each cow will produce about 10 gallons a day with those automatic milked machines ... 

What can you do with 10,000 gallons of milk?

They have to be using it for making cheese or butter ...

Wonder how much milk is drank daily in the US ... 

Wonder how much is dumped because it past the "sell by" date ...

Hmmmm
