Feeds lbs./cow/day

And I'll be done with you (right after this post of course).

The USDA reports the average retail price of whole milk in the City of Indianapolis (my state capitol) this July to be $3.80 per gallon. At 8 gallons per cow, ole Bessie produces $30.40 per day in retail product. The cost to the dairyman, at today's CBOT close, for the corn fed to Bessie today was $.57
