Q: Where are the cows that produce China's milk kept?

Don't laugh at this! I don't know about you but I've never seen fields with grazing milk cows on them. With so much milk being consumed in China, one must wonder where the cows are? They're hardly ALL on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Where do they hide them?

On farms somewhere, keep looking Smile.

 

They're actually starting to move towards industrial dairy farming though, like in the US. >100,000 cows kept indoors in massive' factories'. This will probably be the way it goes forward in China as its such a new growth market that can be shaped easier.

 

Only interested in this Q as my family are dairy farmers and I used to have a parttime job on 1 when I was at school. And yes, it is funny, the only animals I've seen grazing in rural China are chickens and ducks and the odd solitary cow around Yangshuo.

xinyuren:

I think I saw that same solitary cow in Yangshuo too.  I've seen cows in other places, but they looked so poor and neglected and thin.  I wouldn't want milk from them.

I have seen lot of Cows at different places grazing in open green field in Shandong Province of China..I am very sure they were Jersey Cows..Before that sometimes the same question like you use to come in my mind..

GuilinRaf:

Best way to know if they are indeed Jersey cows is to talk to them. If they sound like Buggs bunny, they are indeed from Jersey!

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
