Cow testing boosts cost savings and coop profits
Cow testing reduces feed bills and raises profits through cooperative buying and selling of seeds, livestock, and products. It motivates better dairying, builds community spirit, and brings members together via cash purchases, carload feeds, regular meetings, tours, and picnics for shared farm topics.
