An old farmer argues alfalfa and corn silage are the cheapest and most productive dairy feeds. He cites cows with long milking records on silage, drought-era pasture limits, and a lesson on perseverance to grow alfalfa.
The article credits alfalfa with high digestible protein content, estimating a ton yields 220 pounds of protein worth 13.20 at six cents per pound. Four tons per acre could yield 52.80, though true returns depend on judicious feeding. Wheat bran provides only 12.2 pounds of digestible protein per 100 pounds.
Dairy farmers focus on winter dairying to boost milk and butter prices and allocate winter time to dairy work. Calves are raised in winter to exploit spring grass, while herd management eases during spring seeding and summer harvest, spreading farm labor across the year.
The most successful dairymen use thoroughbred cows and regular testing with scales and Bab cock tester. These cows yield more milk and their calves can be highly valuable, sometimes earning more than the milk. Salesmanship also affects calf price, with skilled sellers obtaining higher amounts.
The text argues that no matter how well cattle are bred or fed, the environment must match their breeding and feeding to achieve results. It stresses the importance of environmental conditions.
If breeding signifies anything at all, it means the qualities of a cow with high milk production are passed to her daughter. The statement emphasizes hereditary milk yield potential in cattle breeding discussions.
