Cheap feed made cheaper by silo
A Dakota Farmer article notes that small crews or individuals can fill silos more cheaply using tractor or electric powered ensilage cutters. The new method reduces labor, eliminates the old filling ring, and enables one man to operate the process, often with a lone wagoneer loading and level packing to minimize settling.
Proteins in Dairy Cattle Rations Reviewed
The text explains that animal proteins in feed primarily support growth tissue repair and milk protein synthesis. It notes proteins furnish raw materials for milk casein and albumen, with 3–4 percent of milk comprising proteins, and that while proteins can heat and fatten, starch and sugar are more economical for those roles.
Dairy Notes on Feeding and Herd Management
Practical dairy guidance covers oats in rations for vitamins, ventilated barns to reduce disease, avoiding breeding cows to freshen in spring, fall fresheners as high producers, and keeping breeding dates in a notebook. Emphasizes proper winter feeding, clean milk, and selecting quality bull calves as long term assets.
