Cheesemaking uses even more dairy than it being in liquid form. Varies depending on what you’re looking at but it can be around a 10:1 ratio. Butter from dairy milk has an even worse conversion

Have to make up for the lost water when turning it into a solid and other stuff you strip from the milk and that’s going to be from even more dairy going into it

I predict goat and sheep cheese is better than cow cheese in emissions, but is it about the same 10:1 ratio for output?

  Why would it be better? It is a smaller animal and also ruminants, which is the important factors. Most likely worse than cattle.

    Uhh, Mostly because the graph already shows lamb and mutton to be half the impact as beef.
