That Average Cow
Has $n Average Return
“Sweclpea” is an average
cow Each year she turns
out 7,000 pounds of milk
“Mangold” is bettor than
average, but still not tops,
and she turns out 10,000
pounds of milk each year.
Look at what those two
cows did for their “boss”
during the six years they've
spent m the barn.
“Swcetpea’s" feed cost
was $lBO a year, or $729 for
four years of production In
addition, the cost of raising
her until she calved at two
yeears of age was roughly
$3OO at today’s prices
Thus, her total “bill”
would be $1,020 for these
Hems
"Marigold’s” feed cost av
eraged $135 per year, or
$940 for four - yeais Her
rearing cost added to the
feed cost makes a total ex
pense of $1,240 '

Now, let’s examine the in
come “Sweetpea’s” 7,000 lb
of milk tor 4 years equals
28,000 pounds of miik which
at $5 00 per cwt is worth
$1,400
Substractmg $1,020 from
this figure leaves $3BO for
the dairyman’s labor, invest
ment, etc
After expenses, such as
housing, equipment, and vet
erinarians bills are taken
out, there’s not much left ov
er toward buying a new
bulk tank, and even less lor
a pair of overalls
‘ Mangold’s” scorecard
looks somewhat be.ter she
produced 40,000 pounds of
milk worth $2,000 in the
same period of time--
Subtracting her expenses
leaves $760 for other costs
This is double the return
made by hex less efficient
