The Profit Gap Between Poor and Good Dairy Cows
An analysis of 5,587 association records across the United States shows dairy cows translating higher butterfat output into much greater income over feed costs. As butterfat rises from 150 to 200 pounds, income over feed costs climbs from 21 to 34 dollars, then to 50, 63, 74, 87, 100, and 118 dollars as production increases. Doubling butterfat from 150 to 300 pounds triples income over feed costs from 21 to 63, and tripling to 450 pounds yields about five times the initial income.
