more milk
Increasing production per cow is one of the surest ways to
build dairy profits, and J. Wilbur Burkholder, Chambers*
burg, Pennsylvania, has raised his herd average 1,000 lbs.
of milk per cow per year.
And, there’s more good news ahead, for Mr. Burkholder’s
home-raised Purina-fed heifers carry the condition and
frames it takes to produce like grown cows when they
come into milk as two-year-olds.
Milkers are fed a Purina-based ration, built from Purina
Concentrates and Mr. Burkholder’s com and oats. Heifers
and dry cows also are fed the Purina
Way ... to help them build reserve
strength for steady, profitable produc
tion when they join the milking string.
See us for details of Purina’s Dairy
Program, followed by Mr. Burkholder
and other top Pennsylvania dairymen
who are proving it PAYS to feed Purina.
