High Production Per Cow Boosts Dairy Returns
County Agent Warner notes dairy income hinges on cow production. A 1931 study shows cows producing 200 pounds butterfat yielded $52 above feed costs, while 409 pounds produced $135. Cooperative bull associations like Love Joy and Marion Center Jersey Bull Associations, started in 1919, have elevated herd performance with high producing dams and proven sires. In Indiana, two top herds averaged 8091 pounds milk and 425 pounds butterfat, and 7071 pounds milk and 416 pounds butterfat respectively.
