[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1729090, member: 40587"] Yep. And that was my point. No family with even 8-10 kids, could use 10 gallons a day. So yeah, beef and beef-cross cows would probably give all the milk a family would need. Then too, I have raised Holstein and other dairy breed bottle calves, back when there were dairies around here, and put some of the heifers in the beef cow herd. They would have bigger udders than the Angus or Herefords we had, and I am sure made more milk, but none of them, had the huge udders dragging the ground that needed to be milked twice a day either. I know from working at Gold Kist co-op back in the 70's, that dairies fed feed designed to maximize the milk production. I remember toting many a bag of Cow Power and Milk Maker (I remember those 2 names) on my delivery routes. I remember the first Simmentals that showed up around here in the early 70's....the red & white ones.... had some pretty good-sized udders on them. Some folks would even put a bottle calf on them and raise two. I am pretty sure those cows would have been sufficient for a family milk cow back in the old days, too. [/QUOTE]
