Butterfat in Milk Appears Fixed by Individual Cow
Experiments show milk fat percentage cannot be raised by feeding. Each cow has a natural, fixed milk fat composition. Short term changes occur with illness or poor feeding, or when a cow is in high flesh at freshening, but values revert to the cow’s inherent level.
Pointers for Selection of Improved Dairy Cow
One or two signs tell a good cow. In a poor cow the thigh runs down straight with no space between thigh and udder and the thigh and the hock. Plenty of daylight between udder and hock signals better dairy type. Temperament reveals quality. A good dairy type shows a sharp spine and sharp hip bones. A good cow has a large wedge shaped stomach.
