does milk come from diff cows?

Question

i been wondering about this for awhile does 1%milk come from the same cow that the 2% milk comes from same with fatfree and the rest of them

Answer 1

yes, they get fat free from the skinny cows, whole milk from the really fat ones, and 2% from the ones who are perfect.

Answer 2

Cows are milked, the milk is mixed together, homogenized and pasteurized, and at some point in the process the milk fat content is tweaked (I don't know how, I'm not a dairy farmer.)

This reminds me of when I was little and I asked my dad if chocolate milk came from brown cows and white milk came from white cows. He told me yes, then I asked him where strawberry milk came from. He said from pink cows. I told him I'd never seen a pink cow. And his response was... well, pink cows are very rare and expensive, so the farmers keep them in the barn so nobody tries to steal them.

And people wonder why I am the way I am.

Edit: Theresa, LOL!!!

Answer 3

Yes, they come from the same cows. All milk that cows give is originally whole milk, it is later changed to have less fat and become 1% and 2% milk.

Answer 4

Yes. The removal of the fat happens after the milk comes from the cows.

Answer 5

Although the total fat content of milk can vary from breed to breed and according to time of year, type of feed and health, all cow's milk is much more than 1 or 2 percent and there is no such thing as a fat free dairy cow.
You must have lived in the city all your life.

Answer 6

Hi there, I know how scary it can be not knowing why your little one is having such problems. My son also had very frequent stools, (sometimes as many as 10 poopy diapers a day) mucus in his poop and also a very small amount of blood. I believe his was coming from tiny cuts around his anus due to the diaper rash. After changing him I could see them and I would find it on the wipie. His bowel movements also smelled awful. It turned out that he had a milk protein allergy that caused mucus to build in his intestines and also restricted his ability to absorb nutrients. He only gained about 2 1/2 ounces from 3 months to 7 1/2 months of age. He fell below 5% on the weight growth chart and was considered failure to thrive. He is 20 months old now and on soy milk and all of his symptoms have resolved. He is even above 15% on the weight chart now. In researching possible reasons for his symptoms before diagnosis was made I came across celiac's disease, crohn's disease, lactose intolerant, cystic fibrosis, and certain enzyme deficiencies. My oldest daughter kept getting a yeast diaper rash that wasn't helped by the traditional methods. The doctor had me use lotrimin and it cleared it up within days. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about preventitive measures since she is repeatedly getting them. Also is she seeing a pediatrician? I had my son seeing a family doctor and the beginning and he wanted to play the lets wait 6 weeks and weigh him again. Well I knew there was obviously something very wrong and switched him to a pediatrician that specialized in allergies and immunology and walked out with a proper diagnosis after the first visit. Good Luck, and try not to worry (I know its nearly impossible as parents), but try :)

Answer 7

duh.....are you serious? All milk comes out as whole milk, full of cream. The milk producers alter it by removing a percentage of the cream. 2% milk has 2% of the cream left in it. All cows produce milk after they calf. Different cows give different amounts of milk. Boy cows (bulls) don't like you to milk them............

Answer 8

all milk comes from the same cows they just process it differently

Answer 9

milk DOES come from different cows. on their butts is branded 1%, 2%, skim, and whole. you can only get whole milk from a cow with "whole" branded on it, or it curdles when you stick in in a 1% box, which is how you get cottage cheese, but that goes into another dairy direction you dont need.

Answer 10

whole milk is the beginning ,then it is processed, to get the fat out.

That's what butter is made of .
