Wisconsin farmers urged to skip complex mineral mixes

Cows Develop Uneven Growth in Missouri Tests
Recent Missouri tests show dairy cows develop in three uneven spurts. The first occurs before birth at five or six months, the second two months before birth and ends four and a half months after birth, and the third starts around a year after birth and ends twenty six months post birth. Feeding abundant quantities during rapid growth is advised to capitalize on these spurts.
