Fewer Cows Could Boost Dairy Income Says Illinois Expert
Professor G C Rhode dairy extension specialist at the University of Illinois says replacing 1 099 000 cows in the state with 654 289 cows of higher efficiency could add about 20 million dollars annually to Winds farmers income without increasing milk output. Fifty five associations across 73 counties help herd owners with records feeding and management. A cow must yield about 230 pounds of butterfat yearly to cover feed and other costs, but the average state cow now produces around 180 pounds. Higher efficiency and better feeding are key, with cows producing about 400 pounds of fat producing 149 dollars above feed cost and a 50 pound gain adding 26 dollars.
