I thought it would be fun to "talk dairy" this month to honor national dairy month. Here's a fun fact that popped up in my e-mail to start it off:
How many dairy cows would it take to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool with milk in a day?
The answer is: 82,500 cows!
According to the USDA, the average dairy cow produces 8 gallons of milk a day. To fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, which holds 660,000 gallons, it would take 82,500 cows... and A LOT of farmers to milk them!

That is a neat fun fact! That would be a lot of milk and a lot of cows.

Wow! I’m just amazed that one cow produces 8 gallons a day, lol. I had no idea.
A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.
