The Right Cows Prof George A Smith Advocates Profits
Professor George A Smith at the Geneva experiment station argues farmers should discard cows that do not yield a clear yearly profit. He notes three cows of similar size and care produced 8000 pounds at 5.6 percent, 6000 pounds at 4 percent, and 4000 pounds at 3.8 percent, with keeping costs over 40 dollars each. He says 20 well cared for cows are worth more than 40 poorly kept, and cites examples of cows yielding 11000 pounds and 4000 pounds milk in different ages to illustrate the need for careful seasonal analysis to identify the best cows.
