Iowa State College Extension Service reports 411 cows culled as unprofitable in May from 32 843 tested. About 2 300 farmers in 92 associations benefited last month, up from three years ago when about half the cows and farmers participated.
Members bought 1384 cows this year compared with 119 last year. Only 85 cows were sold by association members for dairy purposes in 1925, while this year 151 were sold for dairy purposes. The figures show Iowa dairymen moving toward a market with better cows to sell.
