Ken Harter, Oconto County ag agent, urges haying now as alfalfa nears bud stage. Delays reduce milk per cow daily by one pound, costing a 540 cow herd about 18,000 pounds yearly per day. High quality forage lowers feed costs by at least $1 per hundred pounds of milk. Decisions now shape 12 months of dairy economics.
Columbia County Extension announces a revised feed comparison system to help dairy farmers pick cost efficient feeds. Rudy Van Fleet notes the FEED VAL program uses current prices of four reference feeds soybean meal, No 2 shelled corn, feed grade limestone and dicalcium phosphate to estimate relative dollar values and guide purchasing of by product feeds such as brewers grains and wet distillers grains.
Consigners outnumbered buyers at the Wisconsin Milking Shorthorn Breeders state sale leading to very low prices for top quality cattle. Early haying weather and season timing may have influenced turnout. Notable bids include Gold Mine Sweeth irt 930 selling for 850 to Kent Quinn. overall sale averaged 450.50 with 40 head sold. Officials note cattle quality was high despite weak market amid tight economy and reference upcoming events including the 1987 National Convention in Janesville and a July picnic.
