One Cow & HER MILK PER YEAR
Today’s commercially raised cows often endure suffering exacerbated by their breeding for unnaturally high levels of milk production–which maximizes profit at the expense of animal welfare. The rate of milk production per U.S. dairy cow per year has risen by 10.4 percent since 2013–reaching an average of over 24,000 pounds in 2022 according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is more than 10 times what they’d produce for their calf.
