Camera Accepts Photographs for Dairy Registration
The Ayrshire and Holstein Friesian breed associations will accept photographs in place of color sketches for dairy animal registration. USDA experts anticipate growing interest in livestock photography and reference Circular 871-C on using cameras to study growth and development. Photographs have aided dairy research for years, and the new ruling could boost camera use on farms nationwide.

Handle Milk Promptly During Winter Season
Milk handling in midwinter requires prompt cooling to prevent off flavors from heavy winter feeding. Cows stay in milking stanchions longer, manure gutters accumulate, and cooler temps are less natural. Quick cooling minimizes flavor absorption and preserves quality.
Milk and grain feed raise milk output and profits
G W Tailby Jr of the New York College of Agriculture notes milk production and profits rise with grain. Groups fed $20, $50, $85, and $99 worth of grain per cow yearly produced 5,261, 7,771, 10,254, and 11,987 pounds of milk with returns over feed cost of $91, $119, $153, and $194 per cow respectively.

Picking Dairy Bull on Records of Ancestors
USDA urges considering how records are made when choosing a dairy bull. A Beltsville study found cows milked thrice daily, housed in box stalls, fattened adequately, and bred every 15 months instead of 12 yielded 50 percent more production. A 400 pound butterfat herd record equals 600 pounds on an advanced registry under normal conditions.
