Sour Milk
Florida’s dairy industry is “udderly” booming, thanks to the farmers and dairy cows throughout the state that produce fresh milk.
About 125,000 dairy cows reside in Florida, producing around 300 million gallons of milk annually. Dairy cows are milked two to three times per day, and each dairy cow produces about six to eight gallons of milk daily. A gallon of milk equals 345 squirts of a cow’s udder which equals a little over 21 squirts per cup if you are interested in such things!
All of this milk goes from farm to carton in just 48 to 72 hours, which is good news for us milk lovers. There are times when I really enjoy the juice of the cow. For me, there is nothing much bet
