Butte Cows Aim to Boost Profits via Testing Association
W S Murdock of the national dairy group outlined plans to form a Butte dairy testing association in cooperation with the U S dairy division and State college staff. The program would hire testers to visit farms for 24 hours to assess each herd animal s profitability, aiming to remove unprofitable cows and boost overall dairy profits for members. The meeting heard Montana government stats show one third of cows profitable, one third break even, one third loss, and hopes to eliminate the losses through targeted selection. A committee was named to push the matter forward with local dairymen.
