John E. Hinshaw argues in Rural New Yorker that the dual cow, especially Red Polls, suits most farms across regions. They thrive on brush and coarse feed, yield 6000 to 10000 pounds of milk annually, with butter around 800 to 500 pounds, and require shelter and care to maximize profits.

Colorado experimenters report hog rations with three parts corn to one part alfalfa fatten market hogs well while young hogs kept for growth do best on one part corn to three parts alfalfa.
