More Good Cows Boost Dairy Returns in Montana Study
A Montana farmer, after five years in a cow testing association, owned 17 cows producing 380 pounds of butterfat annually with $82 net per cow. One cow, previously priced at 85, proved far superior at 495 pounds butterfat and high value, suggesting the slogan should be more good cows. Association tests show varied returns per dollar of feed, from $1 to over $3, and stress using results for better selection and care.
