How Good Are
Your Heifers?
Two-year old heifers, de
pending on their exact age,
will produce between 20 and
80 per cent as much milk
and fat as they will at ma
turity, says County Agent
Robert A Powers
A mature cow producing
GOO pounds of fat would
produce about 458 pounds of
fat as a two-year old A ma
ture cow making 458 pounds
of fat would make only 350
pounds as a two-year old
Size of the record is also
influenced by frequency of
milking, Powers explains A
record made on three times
a day milking is about 20
per cent higher than a rec
ord made on twice a day
milking. The 600 pound fat
record on three times milk
ing drops to 480 on two
times milking
The length of the record
also can fool you, Powers
says. Most cows milk about
10 months, but some lacta
tions run for 365 days. The
365 day records usually run
17 per cent higher than those
