The piece analyzes rising draft horse needs driven by rail expansion and farm mechanization, noting northern markets dominate demand, price trends, and the value of good stallions. It contrasts draft stock with the common 40 dollar dairy cow, arguing proper breeding, feeding, and farmer knowledge uplift dairy prosperity and creamery feasibility in rural communities.
Northwestern Farmer argues there are about 22,000,000 dairy cows in the United States, with 18,000,000 as common cows. It claims the $40 cow yields about 10 dollars profit annually, and replacing them with specialized dairy cows could halve inputs while maintaining output, given a 300 pound butter yield per special cow versus 150 pounds from the $40 cow.
