Kurtz Builds 500 Pound Herd By Forage Rationing
Jacob L. Kurtz expands his 180 acre Elizabethtown area dairy herd by supplementing forage with hay and silage. He milks outside to reduce barn fly problems and keep stalls clean. He imports a Holstein bull, uses artificial insemination, shifts grade cows toward registered stock, and plans a slight herd rise aided by a future bulk-tank operation at The Harrisburg dairy.
