Scientists breed cows that give skimmed milk

Scientists breed cows that give skimmed milk: "The cows, which have a particular genetic mutation, were bred from a single female discovered by researchers when they screened milk from millions of cattle in New Zealand."

Well, good old Marge even if she is a mutant. She makes skimmed milk, rich in Omega 3s and spreadable butter as well. The spreadable butter herds will be available in 2011, so start saving now. Skimmed milk is our milk of choice so it's a real bonus to hear NZ has cows which can produce it. Marge's female offspring are able to give skimmed milk too. They are just waiting to see if the male offspring can pass the trait on. Whatever happened to the cow they were trying to make give strawberry milk? It was a while ago. Maybe it flopped. Well done to the spreadable butter cows!
