At the Eugene Kaisand dairy farm northwest of Pella the four Kaisand children help raise dairy cows by bottle feeding calves. They avoid air in feeding, claim better calf performance, and assist with up to 32 calves daily. The family, farming in the Pella area for eight years, previously lived in Brooklyn and now milk 40 to 64 cows as conditions allow.
Dairy profits hinge on milk per cow rather than feed costs, says Kent Nelson of Iowa State. Records show low producing herds at about 8,200 pounds lose money, while high producing herds near 15,750 pounds net profits after costs. Maximizing forage quality, AI and DHIA records are key to profit despite higher costs. The Kaisand family in Iowa milks cattle with a stanchion system, stores milk, and sends Grade B milk for cheese production, while balancing milking duties with family involvement in 4-H projects.
Increasing profits during changing times will be the theme of Dairy Cattle Day on the Iowa State University campus Wednesday July 9. Dairy Day is part of Animal Industry Week offering day long presentations across livestock topics including horses cattle feeding sheep cow calf operations eggs meats turkey swine and more led by Professor Fred Foreman.
