Creamery efficiency and dairy herd impact on butter-fat value
A Wallace Farmer article notes creameries paying 50 cents a pound for butter-fat deliver 40 to 44 cents a pound for butter in markets like New York, while smaller creameries paying 30 to 35 cents a pound lose volume and quality. Successful creameries with 600 cows or more command higher butter grades and pay above Chicago extras. A strong, well-managed creamery reflects community strength, with about 100 dedicated dairymen forming its foundation. In Key county Monte sano tests show 700 cows scanned for tuberculosis with only seven infected, ordered killed by the inspector.
