Great Dutch Dairy Farms Show Unusual Herd Density
An English observer notes the Dutch dairying industry with a seventy one acre pasture farm housing sixty four cows plus bulls and calves. Cattle are black and white, fed linseed cake in winter to protect soil fertility, markets at Leeuwarden sell five to six thousand cows weekly, and May frosts lead to cloths worn by cows. One cow calved three weeks ago yielded six to seven gallons of milk with 5.9 percent butter fat.
