Wisconsin Cow Testing Associations Raise Dairy Profits
Widespread cow testing in Wisconsin shows well managed herds average about 300 pounds of butterfat per cow per year, while a smaller group of poor cows yield around 100 pounds. Tester Bates A. J. Cramer explains the method, including feed costs, milk output, and breeding plans, helping farmers improve efficiency and prices. The state has 162 associations with about twenty six farmers each, employing testers who review feed, costs, and income to drive profitable herd management.

Variation in Milk Production Based on Feeding
A Missouri College of Agriculture dairy study compares two cows of similar breed and management. It finds higher milk and butterfat yield in the cow that consumes more feed above maintenance, while both digest feed equally well. The result shows production hinges on feed intake capacity and mammary gland potential, not udder size alone.
