But that's my point - they've been bred to produce that much milk. How much milk
does a calf need? A gallon a day? How much milk did a cow produce 50 years ago?
You haven't addressed that point.
All you've done is agree with me that TODAY's cow produces five gallons (or
more) a day. And are you telling me that a five-fold increase in QUANTITY is NOT
accompanied by a big drop in QUALITY?

I always get Jerseys and Guernseys mixed up, even after
checking at the State Fair, but we had the smaller, more
docile, light tan milk cow (I thought it was Jerseys), and we
got about 2-3 gallons a day, on average, circa 1950s and 60s.
Are Guernseys dark red and white?
We didn't feed anything special, just oats and clover hay. No
alfalfa, please!
