Keep Cows Comfortable
For Hot Weather Production
Associate Chester County
Agent Joseph H. Way says
“if dairymen would be as con
siderate of their cows’ com
fort during hot summer days
as they are of their own com
fort, they’d be better off fin
ancially.’’
He believes a little extra
care will help prevent the
unsual hot weather slump in
milk production, and the ac
companying reduction of fat
content
Way lists these practices to
help realize more profit from
dairying in summer
Provide plenty of shade
If trees are not available a
cheap shelter will serve the
purpose and pay dividends
On farms where zero grazing
is practiced cows will cons
ume more chopped grass if
the feed bunks or self-feed
ing wagons are located m
the shade. >.
Supply cool, clean water at
easily reached places. Don’t
force cows to go long with
out water On the -average a

cow needs 12 to 15 gallons
of water a day. In hot wea
ther they may drink as much
as 80 per cent more than on
cool days.
Feed good hay on Pasture
all the time, and locate the
feed rack out of the sun.
Flies and other tormenting
insects cause much irritation
and unrest in dairy herds,
follow a good regular spray
control program
Since cows don’t graze
much during the heat of the
day make the best pasture
available at night when most
of the grazing is done
In order to provide con
stant new pasture growth,
clip and rotate pastures reg
ularly.
Way concludes “If a cow
can lie down in comfort and
contentment with a full
stomach during the hot sum
mer months the efforts to
provide that comfort will be
well paid ”
