The Cow Demonstration Lesson On Profitable Breeding

The lecture argues 600,000 of 1.5 million Iowa cows are unprofitable due to insufficient feeding and poor breeding. It outlines five key traits for profitable dairy cows: strong constitution, high feeding capacity, calm temperament, strong milk-producing udders, and extensive mammary veins. It stresses careful sire selection, tracing productive ancestry to ensure offspring inherit conformation and milk capacity for profitability.

Winter Dairying in Iowa by Van Pelt

Iowa farmers can boost dairy profits by winter dairying with 1.5 million cows producing 140 pounds of butter yearly. Increasing to 190 pounds per cow could add about 87 million dollars to farm incomes. Use sunlit barns, warm water, silos for corn stalks, and balanced rations of hay and silage to mimic May June conditions.

Improve Dairy Herds with Milk Testing and Babcock

Farmers in Iowa are urged to boost dairy profitability by weighing and testing milk to reveal butterfat production per cow. Use Dial milk scales and record sheets to track monthly yields, separate profitable from unprofitable cows, and sell or finish poor performers. The Babcock test provides fat percentage, guiding cull decisions and herd improvement.

The text discusses that thinking precedes production of corn and notes a mechanism for conversion. It mentions ansilage as a source related to butterfat and implies a designed purpose in the process.
