Feeding dairy cows grain in summer proves better than pasture alone
Illinois dairyman Dave Ehredt near Elizabeth in Daviess County lost 11.68 dollars per cow by skipping grain in the 1925 pasture season, while eight cows produced 5 860 pounds of milk with 242.25 pounds butterfat on 1 523 pounds of grain. Officials advise feeding grain with pasture, especially as pasture quality falls, with recommended rations including ground corn oats wheat bran and linseed or cottonseed meal.

Profit from Pure-Bred Cattle Versus Scrub Sires
Charles L Bray of Colorado Agricultural College notes Wisconsin studies show daughters sired by pure-bred bulls produced far more butterfat than grade sires. One association reports 230 pounds vs 144.8, the other 295 vs 215 pounds per cow annually. At 40 cents a pound, pure-bred offspring yield about $32 more per cow yearly, $320 per ten heifer calves, or $640 over two years for ten heifers.

Separate Pens For Males In Breeding Flocks

Value of Green Feed for Chicks
Green feed aids chick ration but cannot prevent leg weakness alone. Outdoor pecking at sunlight and soil provides some benefits, yet chicks will not eat enough green clover unaided to replace the antirachitle factor. Ohio researchers doubt green feed can be the sole source.
