Can you drink a gallon of milk in one hour?
Asked by Wiki User
If you are being challenged to do this, you can probably do it if 1) you supply your own milk and buy the lactose free kind (switch it into a regular milk jug) and 2) take some lactaid before the attempt.
Generally I would say don't try it. But I know how college people are so if that's your situation, good luck and keep the garbage can nearby.
I drank a gallon and a quarter in less than half an hour without realising it was a feat. It was easy and I didn't feel sick. The only reason I did it was because mum bought a massive box of those milk flavouring straws that I love. I was only 7 then. So I don't see why people think its impossible.
During a Sunday School class, my high school son drank a gallon of milk and part of another gallon while eating exactly 13 and one half donuts. He then sang on the praise team during our worship service with absolutely no ill effects. He is a legend!

How long do cows produce milk after giving birth?
Asked by Wiki User
Cows will produce milk for as long as a producer (dairy or beef) needs to have them produce milk, whether it's a time frame of around 6 to 10 months or longer, depending on their type and class of the cows and the producer's management criteria. The time frame, on average, is between or either 6 to 10 months.
Dairy cows tend to be milked longer than beef cows due to the fact that they're selected to produce milk, not raise a calf. Beef cows will produce milk as long as they have a calf on them.

Do cows give milk during pregnancy?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes. After a cow has calved, she will usually lactate for 10 months before being dried up to ready her for the birth of her next calf. During that 10 months, around three months are alloted for that cow to come back to normal cycling and let her uterus shrink back to normal. By the time those three months are up, she is ready to be bred and settle to gestate for nine and a half months before giving birth to her next calf.

What is weaning in dairy cattle?
Asked by Wiki User
The only problems I can think of when weaning a dairy calf is possible stress and maybe an upset stomach when the milk replacer is suddenly not given to them anymore. But really, no problems should really arise when weaning a dairy calf, as they should be already on full feed, and already have been relying less on the bottle or bucket than on the feed they are given.
