I would conjecture the UMD milk came from the demonstration dairy farm in the school of agriculture (almost all state universities had them to get landgrant funds); in most such cases I've heard about, the production went primarily on-campus to cafeterias and other dining facilities. There may be exceptions I am unaware of, but I suspect this would be a sort of tongue-in-cheek lettering scheme rather than any basis in prototype.
