What are your sources for the cow info? I'm getting more like 30 kcal/gallon. A cow drinks 9-12 gallons per day [1] (assuming not lactating, which takes a lot more water; let's just say these are cows being raised purely for slaughter). Call it 10 gallons/day on average. Cows raised for slaughter live 4-6 years [2]. Call it 5 years on average. 10 gallons/day * 355 days/year * 5 years/cow ≈ 17750 gallons/cow. Finally, the amount of energy in a cow as sold in retail stores is about 500,000 kcal [3]. That works out to about 30 kcal/gallon.
