Breed Cows for Fall Freshening to Boost Butterfat
Dairy expert John A Arey of North Carolina State College advocates fall freshening for milk cows to raise butterfat output in a 12 month period. Cows bred late January or February freshen in early fall, producing more fat than spring calves and avoiding heat stress during peak lactation. December butterfat prices exceed May or June, improving profits as creameries face summer surpluses and winter shortages. Breeding timing can raise annual income per cow by aligning production with market demand.

Satisfactory Feed for Success With the Calf
The calf should receive whole milk from its dam for the first week and from the herd for two to three weeks more. By week three offer grain and hay to prevent loss of fat when switching to skim milk. If skim milk unavailable, use powdered buttermilk reconstituted, or substitute skim milk. Grain with cracked corn and bran plus alfalfa hay aids growth. A darkened shed protects the calf from flies.
Alternating Pastures Boosts Dairymen Production
Dairymen who rotate pastures see increased production as starting grasses early aids regrowth after drought. Dividing fields for alternating rows helps grasses begin quickly in spring. When pasture is short, plant Sudan grass to supplement and endure hot, dry periods. Sudan grass thrives as a supplementary, high yield feed if well established before grazing.
