Fall Freshened Cows Boost Profits for Iowa Dairymen
Iowa dairymen who bred their cows to freshen this fall are expected to see higher profits, says Floyd Arnold. Fall freshening yielded $4 more margin over feed cost per DHIA record in 1952 and $20 more per head over feed cost than spring and summer freshening. Calves from fall freshening were healthier from pasture nutrients, easing winter start. A field day at the farm three miles south of Ames will feature corn and soybean talks starting at 1 p.m.

The ElDora Herald Ledger notes cows freshened in September and November show higher margins over feed costs, with July freshened cows performing poorly. Butterfat totals reached 378 pounds, while July unfavorably produced 334. A seasonal bonus paid by buyers in September and October to patrons delivering milk aims to balance May and June surpluses with fall shortages.
