He compares dairy-focused Holsteins to beef-type cattle and highlights economical milk gains versus growth.

The bulletin notes that unmanaged pasture with rough grasses and lucerne can lead to dangerous imbalances. It warns that uneven grazing reduces quality feed, may cause digestive issues, and urges careful timing of grazing to avoid overmature forage and stomach upsets.
A historic calf feeding note describes transitioning calves from whole milk to a mixed gruel. It outlines proportions of milk, oil, water, and a boiled concentrate, recommending slow introduction and small quantities to aid digestion and appetite. The guidance emphasizes gradual adjustment to a softened diet for early weaning.
A New Zealand Farmer article weighs grazing lucerne versus cutting and carting forage for dairy cows. It notes labor savings from grazing, but warns of stand shortening and weed growth if overgrazed, with cultivation needed to control weeds and maintain young lucerne vitality. It discusses timing of cutting and carting to minimize waste and maximize feed quality.
Analysis from Berry Espuriewat Farm shows higher yields and butter-fat gains from pasture rotation in the current year. Compared with the year ended June 20, 1927, the pasture program resulted in stronger production, though some figures are imperfect. The ten year trend indicates continued benefit from improved grazing on dairy cattle growth and product quality.
