• A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime. • Straight from the cow, milk is about 97 degrees. • Milk is sold in sheets as thin as tissue paper in Denmark-to drink it, add hot water and refrigerate. • It usually takes just two days for milk to get from the cow to the grocery store. • It takes 12 pounds of milk to make one pound of ice cream. • More than 1/3 of all the milk produced goes into making cheese. • It takes 3,000 cows to supply the NFL with enough leather for a year's supply of footballs. |
