Use lip balm. A good balm can buffer your delicate lip skin from the elements. Choose one high in emollients. Check the ingredient list for petrolatum, which locks in moisture, and dimethicone, which seals off cracks and splits in drying lips. Donât limit yourself to products with the word balm in them, either.
â¢ Of the more than 9 million dairy cows in the United. States, 94 percent are of Holstein descent. â¢ The average Holstein produces around 23,000 pounds. of milk, or 2,674 gallons, of milk, each lactation. That. amounts to 75 pounds, or almost 9 gallons of milk, daily during a cowâs standard lactation of 305 days. â¢ Holstein cows usually calve for the first time when they. are 23 to 26 months of age.
Less water will be drunk from the water tank, as the ration gets wetter. Holstein cows need about 4 pounds (one-half gallon) of water to make a pound of milk. Therefore, a cow making 100 pounds of milk per day needs to consume about 400 pounds of water per day. If she eats 110 pounds of her ration that is 50% moisture, she will get 55 pounds of water from the ration and will need to actually drink 345 pounds of water (41 gallons/day).
