The average cow eats between 25 and 35 pounds of hay a week which adds up to about a ton in 10 weeks and over five tons in' a year. There are approximately 135,000 milk cows i and heifers two years of age and older in Massachusetts and a total of more than 784.000 throughout New England, according to the most recent statistics.
