Dunn couple credits sound feeding for production rise
Richard and Margo Miller of Menomonie say a monitored feeding program and herd management lifted their 60-cow operation from 16 000 pounds to over 20 000 pounds of milk annually. Their teenage sons contribute as AI and cattle handlers, and the family runs 400 acres with on farm forage and hauled hay. A high protein forage and extruded soybeans, plus monthly vet checks, improved production and breeding efficiency while they maintain a mixed grade and registered herd.
