Cow Care Facts

• Cows drink a bathtub full of water each day.• Cows eat around 40 pounds of food a day. Who weighs 40 pounds?• Cows have their nails trimmed twice a year because they grow, just like we

have to trim our fingernails.• Did you know that a cow will never start to produce milk until she has her

first baby called a calf.  After calving, cows must be milked 2 to 3 times everyday for about 300 days. Cows enjoy being milked.  They are milked 8 to 12 hours, weekends and holidays included!

• The best cows give over 25 gallons of milk EACH DAY. That's 400 glasses of milk!

• The average body temperature of a cow is 101.5 degrees F.• It used to take a person 1 hour to milk 6 cows by hand. Today, a person

can milk 100 cows in an hour with modern machines. • Before modern milk delivery, when people traveled and wanted milk, they

had to take their cows with them. • Cows have an acute sense of smell - they can smell something up to 6

miles away!• Cows spend 6 hours a day eating and 8 hours chewing cudhttp://aipl.arsusda.gov/kc/cowfacts.html
