Best Time to Dry Dairy Cows August to October
August to October is the peak period for dairy cows to be dry in Towa. Floyd Arnold of Iowa State College notes late summer and early fall calves face lower nail and milk supplies, with prices rising. He stresses proper dry-period feeding rich in protein, lime, and phosphorus, using legumes and soybean or linseed meal, to build body reserves and ensure good lactation after calving. Cows should not become too Fat, and dry periods range 30 to 60 days depending on production. Some high producers may require forced dry-off.
