Calves Raised Without Skim Milk Prove Viable In Wisconsin
A federal dairy division study in Sheboygan County Wisconsin reports ten farms rearing calves without skim milk or whey. Calves were fed whole milk for about four weeks then allowed to forage hay grain and water, with milk consumption totaling 600 to 800 pounds per calf. By seven to eight weeks they were fully on hay and grain, and healthy. One herd near Plymouth yielded 306000 pounds of milk from 30 cows in 1915, averaging 10200 pounds per cow with best animals at 15000. Cost of milk used for growing ranged from $8 to $10 per calf, with feed about two pounds daily. calf mortality was not observed. F M Hillman, Dairy Specialist.
