Cow Says Water Is Cheapest Food for Dairies
A dairyman notes a high producing cow yielded 10 584 pounds of milk and 542 6 pounds of butterfat last year and argues water is the cheapest best feed. He says milk is about 87 percent water and cows drink 24 to 30 gallons daily when water is unlimited. Automatic drinking cups boost milk output by 7 to 8 percent in many herds.
