Mr and Mrs Truman Milton of Ottawa RFD 3 recount how a smaller herd, properly managed, can outproduce a larger one. Through selective culling, crossbreeding, DHIA tracking, and high grain rations, their 30 cows averaged 13 653 pounds in August 1971 with cows yielding 90 and 94 pounds daily before one udder failure ended a top producer.
