Unprofitable Cow Turned Profitable by Smart Management
A Sumner Iowa farmer proves a cow once losing money can yield profit with proper care. R E Farrand bought an eight year old Holstein that had given little, earning $51.71 in nine months. The cow had appeared as the poorest in Cedar Valley, producing only 105 pounds of butterfat and a loss of $3.53 the previous year. The Iowa State College dairy judging team finished third at a National Dairy show in Springfield, Massachusetts, behind Nebraska and Kansas, with Ames placing third among twelve teams from 17 colleges. The Ames team members were L V Wilson, W J Henderson, J A Sturtevant, and W S Allison, coached by H Henderson.
