Standard resources, including technical chemistry ones, list whole milk as less than 4% total fat. The percent of total calories in milk that come from the fat is higher.

Depends on the breed of cow. Jersey and Guernsey are highest at 5% (The best newly-freshened well-fed Jersey actually tops that to past 7%) and Holstein the lowest at av. 3.25%

Also depends on the individual cow and its feed, and probably on its date of lactation.
