Butterfat in Milk Largely Fixed by Cow’s Nature
Experimental work shows fat percentage in milk cannot be increased by feeding. Each cow has a natural milk composition, with only temporary changes due to illness or improper feeding. Total fat pounds may rise with more milk, but test fat percentage remains tied to the individual cow.

Temperament helps identify dairy type. A coo dairy type has a sharp spine and hip bones. A good cow shows a large wedge shaped stomach.
