Dairy Facts Show Rise in Cows Mirrors Population
Census data reveal 31,795,770 dairy cows in 1910 up from 18,108,666 in 1900, a 20.4 percent rise while U.S. population grew 21 percent. Butter output climbed 8.6 percent from 1899 to 1909, with 61.4 percent of butter produced on farms. Cheese production rose 7.4 percent, factories producing most of it as farm-made cheese fell 42.6 percent. Each cow supplied milk and dairy products for about 4.1 people in 1909, suggesting shortages would stem from higher consumption rather than fewer cows.

Stored milk develops bitterness after standing, caused by bacteria. some cows produce bitter milk during late lactation or with dry feed, which can be helped by reducing grain intake and using Epsom salts.
