Size of Herd Impacts Frederick County Dairy Farm Efficiency
A University of Maryland Maryland economics study led by Harold Reiley analyzes forty Frederick County farms to assess how herd size affects labor use, capital, and profitability. Findings show farms with 60 cows or more operate more efficiently, with higher milk sales per man and per cow, while fixed costs spread over larger output. Corn silage and alfalfa/cropping strategies influence expansion, and mechanization can boost net income by reducing labor and increasing output.
