A long study tracing scrub Arkansas cows bred to purebreds shows milk output rising from 4,000 to 10,326 pounds and butterfat from 187 to 399 pounds across generations. Holstein Jersey and Guernsey sires boosted yields while uniform care and rations kept results consistent.
Proper feed rules for dairy cows emphasize roughage first and adjust grain by production. Typical ration is one pound grain per three pounds milk, or up to four pounds for very high production, with butterfat-based adjustments as an alternative.
The note emphasizes selecting sires with proven genetics as half the dairy herd's counts. Prospective buyers are urged not to settle for low quality sires or scrubs, highlighting the impact on long term herd performance and profitability.
The article states that a good milk-producing cow should consume about 150 pounds of water daily in summer and about 100 pounds daily in winter.
