This question was a comment that was randomly posted on planetdan by a blog spammer, but I would be interested to know.
I’d also like to know how much milk a cow produces (so I just looked it up – some jersey cows at Punchards Farm in Rattlesden produce 20 litres/day [source]), and also how much the farmer gets paid and what it costs to look after and feed a cow…
Just curious. I shall tag this Chicken economics!
