Milk cow values depend on three year return and production
Dairy expert E S Harrison of Cornell argues a cow is worth only what she can return in three years after feed and labor costs plus a normal profit. Data from a 36 cow experimental herd show 7 000 to 8 000 pounds a year barely cover costs, and every extra 1 000 pounds above 8 000 adds about 6 dollars per 1 000 pounds, yielding about 20 dollars extra per 1 000 pounds milk when price is 2 . 60 per 100 pounds. Replacement prices: 7 000 pounds unprofitable, 8 000 pounds 90, 9 000 pounds 130, 10 000 pounds 175, 11 000 pounds 215, 15 000 pounds 325.
