I would go to a grocery store and get a gallon of whole milk and take it up to the produce dept. and put it in one of the scales and weigh it. :-) Because I really have no idea , but thats what I would do.

Quote from government website:
"a gallon of milk weighs about 8 pounds"
Obviously it is assumed that whole milk is the milk used.

Slightly LESS than a gallon of water, despite the dissolved solids. Whole milk also contains about 4% butterfat, which is less dense than water (it floats to the top) and so it weighs less than water does. Milk is the most useless liquid for a standard, because it goes bad. You can't keep a standard container of milk around for long. Use water as a standard.

This isn't really a may=th question, but here goes.
1 gal H2O weighs about 8.345#/gal
I think milk is a little heavier because there are solids disolved in it so my guess is around 9#/gal.
