Feeding grain to heavy producers in dairy herds May to June
Dairy extension expert C B Rhode of the University of Illinois notes pasture conditions in May and June suit dairy cows but heavy producers benefit from grain and protein supplements to preserve flesh for the next lactation. Recommend a grain mix of two parts ground corn or barley to one part ground oats. For cows producing over 8 lb butter daily, feed one pound of grain per four pounds of daily milk. lesser producers do well on pasture alone.
