Rainy winter strains Kansas dairies and SCC limits
Dairymen across Kansas warn that a wet season pushed somatic cell counts to over a million, complicating July that brings new SCC limits. DHIA records can help manage herds by tracking chronic mastitis and guiding culling or treatment, with options on frequency and cost. Ag Calendar notes a June 15 grazing and watering demo at Princeton Community Building.

Buffalo ranching grows in Kansas but won't replace cattle
In Kansas buffalo ranching is rising but likely for meat rather than cattle replacement. Larry Butterfield of Beloit, president of state and national buffalo associations, notes slow growth, high demand, and limited supply with about 4,500 buffalo in Kansas and 130,000 worldwide. He ships meat nationwide from a Concordia processing point, with buffalo meat commanding higher prices due to scarcity.
