Milk Margin Figures For Halton Dairy Groups

Final figures from Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Groups in Halton show wide cost variations in milk production. West Halton with 13 cows averaged 8453 lbs milk and 331 lbs butterfat at $3.71 per 100 lbs. gross returns offset by manufacturing price reductions leave producers facing tight margins. East Halton with 26 farms averaged 16 cows each, 8391 lbs milk and 316 lbs butterfat per cow at $3.33 per 100 lbs, yielding higher turnover and lower labor per unit despite slightly lower per-cow production.
