The Kansas experiment station reports that strong calves come from cows with good pre calving care and proper feed. Cows should be fed oats bran clover or alfalfa and dry for six to eight weeks before calving with succulent forage three to four weeks prior. Feed warm sweet whole milk early, then switch to skim milk, adding ground feed to teach eating. Calves gain best on ten to twelve pounds of milk daily from three to five weeks, adjust grain as needed, and avoid fattening. Unpasteurized skim milk from the creamery is impractical.
The dairy farmer should consider feed that benefits soil and milk yield. Bran offers the greatest manurial value among common feeds, followed by clover. Buying bran from wheatfield regions provides fertile nutrients, while purchasing clover from neighbors adds soil cream. In addition to milk and butter profits, the feed boosts plant food elements in manure.
A dairy meeting speaker extolls silo use noting silage shortages reduce cow appetite and milk yield.
