He recommends not more than one pound of hay per hundredweight plus a grain mix, with specifics for light and heavy work, plus water timing and hay quality. The piece also extols cottage cheese and buttermilk as cost effective dietary aids.
The article explains that feeding cattle grain and olive meal with bulk rations increases manure value.

If food is not purchased, they must obtain ground bone phosphate potash nitrate fertilizer or equivalent.
Breeders focus on improving the Holstein type noting large size and characteristic black and white markings. The goal is to enhance both milk production and meat quality while preserving the breed's defining color pattern.

Dishcloths and towels are discarded when washing milk utensils. Wash in warm water with plenty of washing compound using a brush, never a rag. Rinse with clean warm water, then boil or pour boiling water over parts. Stand upright to drain, do not wipe with cloth. Dry quickly in sun if possible.
