Kestell's Forage Field Day Focus Highlights Alfalfa Use
Tom and Gin Kestell of Ever-Green View Farms run 90 registered Holsteins with a rolling herd average near 18 000 pounds and 3.6 percent butterfat. They grow 1100 acres, with 380 alfalfa, and credit cottonseed in their 80 pound milk target TMR for butterfat gains. They emphasize a balanced system, regular feed testing, and labor-saving mixer use, noting top producers receive protein-rich boosts while maintaining cost control.
