most commercial cows put out milk that is fairly low in fat content,
even concentrated in the form of cream, and come from large dairy
heards. They get fed primarily  a prefab mash of generic grain, bone
meal and other organics like hay and grass. The dairy I get my raw milk
from[trinity farms, enfield ct] feed grass, whole grain corn and silage.
Their products are slightly yellowerr than normal. When I can get it, I
much prefer guernsey product as the butterfat content is way higher-
8-10 % vice 5-7 %, which makes a definite difference in the colorant
carried per volume.

Last years Dragon's Flight I brought in a green [ie unaged] cheese that
was guernsey, and was noticeably yellow.[it also won the a&s contest. I
brought in whey, and bread made with whey as well as a short paper on
the husbandry of a small farm in reference to the most efficient use of
milk [extrapolated from modern experience]]
