Do dairy cows eat soy protein?
Yes, cows are fed soy. Livestock producers like to use corn and soy as a base for their animal feed, because these protein-rich grains fatten up their animals, and because they’re incredibly cheap as a result of the government subsidies. Livestock consumes 47% of the soy and 60% of the corn produced in the US. Source: http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/f… It is very possible that soy residue could remain in the milk.

EDIT: realised I should back that last sentence up: The main worry of people unable to drink milk is calcium; however, there are many fantastic plan-based sources of calcium including: blackstrap molasses, calcium-fortified soy milk, calcium-set tofu, black-eyed beans, soybeans, bok choy, broccoli, collard greens, chinese cabbage, kale,
