Butterfat Patterns In Herd Milk Across Seasons
Dairymen can expect little change in overall milk fat percentage in coming months while observing seasonal shifts. Near drying off, milk tests spike despite lower volumes, and rising volumes in late winter or early spring reduce fat content. Kent of Werribee notes fat tests dip about two months after calving, with cold weather raising fat but lowering yield. cream tests follow milk composition as richer milk yields richer cream.
