Changes in winter feed should be gradual to avoid milk shrinkage and digestive disruption.
The Elgin Dairy Report notes butter from the Darlington creamery can’t compete with continental markets due to freight and packaging costs, yet better cows feed, cleaner stables, and pure air and water could raise quality and allow local dairy butter to be priced near one dollar per pound rather than three or four.
