Well' I'll be danged. I trotted out to the kitchen. I have a half-gallon paper carton that I am finishing up and a quart in a plastic bottle that I haven't opened up yet. Paper carton = Ultra Pasteurized. Plastic Bottle = Pasteurized. Paper Carton expires in two weeks. Plastic Bottle expires next week. And I just bought the plastic bottle. Since I don't drink that much milk, I am going to buy milk by the quart in a plastic bottle.
The majority of dairy farms have Holstein cows. They give the most milk by the pound. The average Holstein gives 25 pounds per milking. If the diary farm is more interested in selling cream for butter, they have Jersey's or Guernseys. Their milk has a higher buttermilk fat content per pound. After the separation of the cream from the milk, the milk is sold for skim milk or as animal feed.
