| | Dairy farming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Modern dairy farmers use milking machines and sophisticated plumbing systems to harvest and store the milk from the cows, which are milked twice or thrice daily. | | | Farms usually had personnel to milk only a few dozen cows, and keeping a dozen milk cows for the sale of milk was profitable. | | | Now most dairies must have more than one hundred cows in milk at a time with other cows and heifers waiting to be "freshened" to join the milking herd. |

| | Dairy husbandry includes the management of dairy cows, the cultivation of crops for feed, the production of milk and cream, and the manufacture of butter, cheese, and ice cream. | | | Dairy products include whole fluid milk, low-fat fluid milk, flavored milk, whole and nonfat dry milk, butter, cheese, evaporated and condensed milk, frozen dairy products, and fermented products such as sour cream and yogurt. | | | The number of dairy cows (that is, dairy cattle, exclusive of bulls, calves, and heifers) in the United States has shown a fairly constant change in ratio from one cow to every four persons in the population during the late 19th century, to one to every six in the present population. |

| | The Dairy Cow |
| | The modern dairy cow has been bred to be so specialised for milk, rather than meat production, that male calves of the pure dairy breed are perceived by many farmers as not being worth rearing for meat. | | | High-yielding dairy cows are prone to Ketosis, a condition that usually occurs in early lactation. | | | Dairy cow husbandry expert, Professor John Webster described the removal of the calf as the "most potentially distressing incident in the life of the dairy cow". |
