County Agent's Corner Prepare Cows for Freshening
Clare County agricultural agent Paul D Gibson advises a six week to two month dry period before freshening. Feed high quality roughage and six to ten pounds of grain daily to build milk making reserves. A balanced grain mix and iodized salt aid production while cobalt sulfate may be used. Water access is essential as Michigan records show about 2000 cows freshening daily from September to April.

Lighting hens with electric lights boosts daily egg output
Michigan State College poultry specialist Howard Zindel outlines practical electric lighting for laying houses. Extend daily light to 12 to 14 hours, use about 40 watts per 200 square feet, and ramp up gradually to avoid moulting and production slumps. Egg prices justify using all available methods to maintain flock production.
