How Low Butter Prices Lead to Better Herds
Special Bulletin 152 from Minnesota University shows dairy profits rise with high butterfat. At 50 cents per pound butterfat, a 100, 200, and 300 pound cow earned $10, $52, and $92 over feed costs respectively. At 25 cents per pound and 1932 feed costs, those cows lose or gain only modest profits, underscoring the need to keep only high producing cows.

Care of the Dairy Cow
A good dairy cow works hard converting feed into milk and butterfat, with high producers often thinning near the end of lactation. Proper feeding reduces this. thin cows should be dried off to rebuild reserves. Tests show a six to ten week dry period can yield enough extra milk to cover the care given during dry spells.
Silage Feeding Guidelines For Winter Ration
The amount of silage per cow in winter depends on weight. A cow eats about three pounds of silage per 100 pounds of live weight. Include legume hay and a grain ration based on milk output, plus equal parts of ground limestone and steamed bone meal at two pounds per 100 pounds of concentrate.
