GDF 211 - "Missy Moo"

Missy Moo's milk production was last measured on September 5, 2006, and she gave 67.5 pounds of milk that day.  That's nearly 8 gallons, or 125 cups of milk she made in one day's time.  Her milk production ranked 39th out of 168 cows.  Since she gave birth to her heifer calf on August 27th, she has given over 843 total pounds of milk, which means she has made more than 34,540 pounds of milk in her lifetime!
