Dairyman Kenneth Hubbard Tops State Butterfat Records
Kenneth Hubbard, a dairyman northeast of Overbrook, reports one of the state’s top butterfat records with 677 pounds per cow yearly and 18 277 pounds of milk. He milks about 35 Holstein cows on 680 acres, using registered sires, stanchion housing, and open wintering. He attends Extension meetings and coordinates tight grain feeding, vet calls, and culling for best production. He aims to keep butterfat over 600 pounds and milk around 20 000 pounds per cow. A 1964 tornado damaged sheds but not the milk barn, and Hubbard notes his pipeline milking system was ready.
