Herd Association Idea on Old One
Ohio State University dairy professor outlines Denmark inspired herd improvement associations. Denmark formed Kontrol societies 40 years ago providing monthly testers who measure milk and butterfat, track feed and costs, and cull poor cows. Denmark raised average per cow to 8000 pounds milk and 300 pounds butter fat, versus Ohio around 5000. Continuous testing aims to breed useful dairy cattle and remove undesirable lines from pedigrees.
