Cows 101

Did you know that a decent cow gives 8 gallons of milk per day? I don't really drink milk, so that leaves a lot of other possiblities, yes? Cow costs up to $1k

Jerseys are smaller, up to 800 lbs, and have 5.2% of cream
1 lb butter takes 11 quarts milk
1 lb cheese per gallon of milk
1 lb milk makes 1 lb yogurt

Some cheese is aged and most is not. Aging takes a cellar (or turned-down fridge). Pasteurizing milk is cooking at a certain temperature (brewing thermometer) for long enough to kill stuff. Aging cheese also includes a variety of problems and wax.
