Good Cows Need More Than Grass
Dairyman should start grain feeding to prevent summer slump as pasture alone cannot meet the needs of high producing cows. A 1200 pound cow producing 40 pounds of 4 percent milk requires about 150 pounds of grass daily, with grass 6 to 6 inches tall. When grass is scarce or production is high, supplement with hay silage or grain, using grain at about 1 pound per 6 to 6. pounds of milk, and mix grain from low and high protein feeds to balance rations.
