Ericksons Breed for Future Amid Steady Profits on Dairying
Erickson dairy operation centers on a 325 day lactation with cows kept dry 42 to 45 days. Their oldest producer, 14, is calving again in March after 13 heifer calves. The couple emphasizes future high potential cattle while needing today’s income to stay solvent. They plan limited expansion, hire one seasonal worker, and invest in topdressing alfalfa for higher yields. Feeding occurs four times daily to balance rations, with variable daily amounts based on production. They earned their first semen royalty in November from a stud sold to Delta G of Turlock, California, with daughters contributing to Eau Claire County fat production.
