Cows Conditioned On Corn For Faster Milk
G A Williams of Indiana advises conditioning cattle by feeding six pounds ground corn and two pounds ground oats or bran with one pound oil meal to restore flesh. After freshening, shift to bran and oats, taper before calving, and use bean mashes for a few days around calving. Gradual grain increases follow to maximize production. Hormones released at calving drive milk but fatigue as lactation continues.

Mammoth Russian, planted 3% feet apart with 10 inch rows, should be cut when about 25 percent in bloom and upper leaves are green for optimal silo preservation. Two other cuts at 95 percent bloom and fully dry plants underperformed.

Minerals Needed for Pasture Cows
