Are milk cow's endangered species?

Are milk cows on the endangered species list?

I just don't get it. I pay less for a gallon of gas, (a finite resource) then for one gallon of homogenized milk. Stopped off at the local store to get some milk for the baby and they had it for 6 bucks a gallon mine you I only pay $3.67 gal for gas! The cheapest I could find was

$4.16 for moo juice that's frecking nuts.

Milk here is about $2.99/gallon.

If you live off mainland USA like Hawaiin Islands area, you are going to get fcuked all the time on food and utilities expense there, sad but true, they gouge the hell out of people there big time! Gas is $2.30 gallon here in StL and milk at the grocery store is $1.89 a gallon.

Why are you buying cow's milk for a baby?

Speaking of #######, how are yours holding up, my Ukranian love bunny?

Why are you buying cow's milk for a baby?

because it is not good to give skim (lousy taste), 1% or 2% milk to a baby--but whole is OK as per doctors.

cows can't be endangered, the local Wal Mart is full of them!!!

Pediatrician wanted our granddaughter on Vitamin D whole milk after she turned one so we got her a gallon when we had her over the weekend, it's $2.30 a gallon here for whole milk or 3%. With her drinking cup that we put in the micro for 20 seconds, she likes it lukewarm, she can down that quicker than most guys can down a beer. She consumed a half a gallon in the weekend. Gasoline here is $2.52 a gallon, high, but helps pay for our overpriced school system.

When the OP asked if cow's are an endangered species, he is very correct.

"Wisconsin's dairy industry, still thousands of farms strong, is awash in trouble. The average dairy farm in the state is losing about $100 per cow each month, according to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation.

With more than 1.25 million cows in the state, it means the industry is losing about $4 million a day.

That's largely because farmers, who received about $20 for every hundred pounds of milk they produced last summer, have seen that price cut in half this summer. They've slashed expenses but are losing money on every gallon of milk they produce — partly because consumers are buying less ice cream, butter and cheese.

Some farmers have cashed out their farm equity and savings just to buy cattle feed and pay their utility bills.

Entire herds of cows have been slaughtered as part of a national program meant to reduce milk supplies and increase the amount that farmers receive in their milk checks.

Export markets also have dried up for U.S. dairy farmers. Last year, the U.S. exported nearly 11 percent of its milk production. When the global economy tanked, demand shrank and prices collapsed."

They are only getting about a dime a pound for milk and that's not for that watered down ####### you get at the supermarket, can cut that stuff with a knife. With the state pushing ethanol, corn has risen to over nine bucks a bushel for the standard price of around a buck fifty, certainly not wise to feed it to a cow and get nothing for it. Milk prices were much higher even 30 years ago than today. When diary farmers were getting 12 cents a pound, could buy a gallon of milk for about 79 cents, only getting a dime a pound today, but that same gallon is $2.30 so go figure. 2% is $1.99. I use to get milk from my uncle, but we pasteurized it and added about 30% water so we could pour it out of the bottle.

Land O' Lakes is making a lot of money today, most diary farms are now corporate owned and pay an illegal and his family a hundred bucks a week and they have to work 17/7 to make that kind of money. I feel our state government is corrupt. The family owned farms are getting killed, they don't get that $2.30 a gallon.

Talking to a local vet he mentioned that the average dairy farm has lost 50% equity last year.

Yeah under one but my bata is 20 mo. old Whole milk is fine.

Didn't really notice that much of a change in Amber from day 365 to day 366, but was told to put the formula away and get the milk. Must be tantamount to a kids 18th birthday, in one day changes from a stupid teenager to a responsible adult.

What killed my uncle was one year, the state reassessed his land from a hundred bucks an acre to fifteen hundred bucks, but yet a corporation was there to buy his farm, that I could never figure out. Some farmer sold an acre to a homebuilder for fifteen hundred, so the state figured that is what the land is worth now. And how does the corporation pay that extra tax. Tried to search the assessed land value, would be easier to built an a bomb. Our state is subsidizing the hell out of ethanol and saying the hell with the family farmer. Feingold is trying to do something about it. This was a good state once, think we have mobsters from Chicago running it now. Hell, this is my home, but don't know whether to fight or to switch.

We can always get milk from China.

The USA is a free country, let her use whatever milk she so desires, how would you know what is right or wrong!
