Dairy cows justify soil building on North Carolina farms
Dairy extension specialist John A. Arey argues that maintaining cows strengthens soil fertility and reduces erosion. He cites crop and soil decline on Medmont area farms and promotes pasture over bare cultivation to protect land and sustain farm income. Manure adds plant nutrients and boosts soil health beyond its chemical value.

Size and Development of Heifer for Breeding
Not only the breed, but also the size and development of the dairy heifer must be taken into consideration in determining the age at which to breed. Large heavy breeds should be bred to freshen at 27 to 30 months, and matured breeds at 24 to 27 months. If a heifer is undersized or underdeveloped, delaying breeding for a few months yields a more satisfactory size before freshening.
Digestible Protein in Grain Ration for Cows
A feeding guideline notes that higher alfalfa or clover hay reduces needed grain protein. With hay-only diet, digestible protein in grain should be 12 to 18 percent. Suggested mixes include 200 lb corn with 100 lb oats, wheat bran, and linseed meal, or 100 lb corn oats and bran with 150 lb gluten meal.
Calves On Grass Needs Cautious Weaning And Grain
Farmers advise against turning calves under six months entirely to pasture. Successful dairymen feed calves grain skim milk and hay until nine months, then shift to pasture to save pasture and ensure proper growth and health.
