Cows Need More Than Good Grass
Iowa State College extension dairyman Floyd Arnold says pasture alone cannot sustain high milk production. A cow producing over 25 pounds daily may need grain, with 1 pound of grain per 5 to 6 pounds of milk, plus minerals. Soil moisture tests show meadow land retains more moisture than corn, due to cover reducing runoff and increasing infiltration.

Thinking about raising sheep? The USDA notes late summer or early fall as ideal to start. Small to medium farms can gain income with pasture fed sheep, rotating grazing, and a flock of ewes producing lambs. Projected annual returns around 1300 dollars per flock hinge on lambs sold and fleece. Implement heat lamps for newborn lambs in cold climates to reduce chilling risks.
