High Producing Cows Earn More From Milk Output
DHIA records from the Illinois Dairy Herd Improvement Association show cows yielding about 13 000 pounds of milk and 500 pounds of butterfat earned eight times as much per hour as cows producing 8 000 pounds of milk and 300 pounds of butterfat. University of Illinois dairy scientist Leo Fryman notes high producers also earn nearly twice as much per hour as cows producing 400 pounds of butterfat, with experts assuming 50 percent feed costs and 25 percent labor costs. Estimates put care at about 100 hours per mature cow per year.
