It\u2019s also messing with the genetics of the cow to increase their physical body and udder size that also increases their appetite for eating. According to the Post\u2019s article, a Wisconsin dairy farmer has produced a holstein cow to a towering size, producing 75,000 pounds of milk annually, 3 times the industry average (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kunc.org\/post\/america-has-new-queen-milk-production-meet-gigi-diva-cow#stream\/0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America Has A New Queen Of Milk Production.
