I think this has to do with some advantages and HT, but how do I put this on a character sheet?
My advice: if you're planning to run a game about farm management, I definitely wouldn't begin by making character sheets for the animals, and then trying somehow to work out rates of production from that. That's just not what the character point meta-game is designed to do. Much better to take the Low Tech 3 approach, and just use character points for the characters who are managing the animals.

Having said that, I can imagine some other situations in which I'd want to know how to stat up, say, a cow's ability to produce milk. For example, in a fantasy game I might want to create a "race" of cow-people. In that case, I suspect I'd just make the ability to produce milk a racial perk, and leave it at that.
