Walter Dullard Finds Profit With Jersey Dairying
Walter Dullard, 24, of West Union, used Jersey cows to boost butterfat income. February 1927 cream checks reached 166.48 at 56 cents per pound, up from 48.63 in February 1926 at 49 cents. After paying feed costs of 74.40 under Lane Moore's cow testing guidance, net for February 1927 was 97.26, nearly double the prior year. Dullard credits joining the cow testing association and adopting Moore's feed plan for the profit shift, with cash in the bank proving the method works.
