Blue Valley Creamery Institute confirms silage lowers feed costs and boosts output. Minnesota herds saw 5 pounds more fat per cow annually with silage. Pennsylvania trials reported 30 extra pounds of butterfat. Case studies show milk cost per 100 pounds dropped from 1.29 to 0.10 or 0.50 on silage feeding.
Early grazing reduces pasture value as cows eat too soon. Two acres with strong growth beat three acres underfed. Keep stock off to allow grass to recover and grow. Grain feeding helps milk yield, at least one pound per five pounds of milk, even in good pasture. Once milk drops, recovery to previous levels is hard.
