Fly spray to reduce cow irritation and boost milk yield
Farmers are advised that flies irritate cows, reducing milk yield and milking efficiency. A fly repellant mix is detailed: coal tar dip, fish oil, whale oil, oil of tar, oil of pennyroyal, laundry soap dissolved, water to 30 gallons. The mixture, applied twice daily for 10 days, covers 40 cows, morning after milking and afternoon during silage or green feed.
Reliable dairy cattle offer steady profit and demand
The dairy cow provides more dependable earnings than the beef steer because dairy products yield frequent milky checks and are less volatile. Growing demand for dairy products and for grade and purebred cattle supports ongoing revenue and market interest.
Most Profitable Cow
A single high yielding cow proves more valuable than several inferior ones, emphasizing efficiency and herd quality.
Sterilize Milk Utensils with Steam and Boiling Water
For proper sterilization dairy utensils require abundant steam or hot water. Immerse in boiling water for two minutes or seal in a tight closet and sterilize with steam for thirty minutes.
