Indiana dairy observations contrast two herds with same management. Better herd yields 2% cans per cow daily at 45 cows, average milk value around $88.50 yearly per cow. poorer herd yields far lower, with $34.50 yearly per cow and only $2.50 profit after feed. If 400 cows needed for $1,000 annual profit, twenty one cows of the better herd would suffice. The piece notes many Indiana herds may be loss making, and improvements are within reach.
