SCIENTISTS have bred cows that produce skimmed milk and hope to establish herds of the cattle to meet the demands of health-conscious consumers.
The milk is also high in omega3 oils, claimed to improve brain power, and contains polyunsaturated fat. The saturated fats found in normal milk are linked to increased risk of heart disease. The cows, which have a particular genetic mutation, were bred from a single female discovered by researchers when they screened milk from millions of cattle in New Zealand.
Butter from these cows has the extra advantage of being spreadable straight from the fridge, like margarine.

Has Molly lost some weight?
Chalk this one up to why--no matter how hard humans may try--God's still going to be better at generating life.
Hillary Clinton gives cold milk.
Hey, but their butter is more “spreadable”!
Get back to me when the cows start shooting premium gasoline out......
Years ago they were talking about splicing a spider gene into a cow. The idea is the cow would produce the protein for the spider silk in it’s milk.
Spider silk is supposed to be stronger than steel but not practical for commercial use due to the limits on what can be harvested.
They say it’s perfectly safe. Even so whenever I hear a “moo” I duck and run, just in case...
What does price have to do with anything? This cow and her offspring are producing healthier milk.
Soooo- Where is butter- half/half- whipping cream- ice cream going to come from?
Some things are just better left alone......
Spare me from the food police.
...The milk is also high in omega3 oils
Pay no attention to the details ping.
If the cows are frozen perhaps they will produce soft serve ice cream. Yeah, I know. Udderly ridiculous.
Only in the "Chocolate City of New Orleans."
Scientists could probably genetically engineer a cow to produce homogenized milk as well. That would be even more useless.
Dude, have you ever had milk straight from the cow? (Well, not strait from the tits, but milked minutes before you drink it.) The healthiest stuff in the wold! Am I dead yet, having drunk it numerous times? Spare me your modern science, your gummint reports, pleeeeze!
Milk toast as opposed to milquetoast.
Amen.
China score another contract to now feed our cows?
LOL Harvest them toots!
My grandmother used to serve us fresh milk for our cereal when we visited her. Drove me up the wall. Wasn’t even chilled. Couldn’t stand it.
May I suggest besides being cold, it is also sour, not that I know anyone willing to try to drink it {barf alert, for sure}!
Hope you pasteurized or you’d better be checked for TB
Compared to All Jersey milk, milk from Holstein cows tastes like Skim. I drank raw milk for many years and no ill effects. Matter of choice, if the Gummint will give you a choice.
