The disc is enclosed in a

Coming 500 n...
spring and summer pasture
Good grass is going to look better than ever this
spring ... to dairymen who’ve been short of roughage
all winter long. Cows love grass, too.
But here are two tips from Burma’s dairy experts that
may put dollars in your pocket:
1, Don’t lean too hard on grass alone. Remember grass
is about 85% water and only about 15% dry matter.
It’s a good idea to feed a little hay every day; right
through the summer.
2. Don’t slack off grain feeding. Even though grass
actually stimulates milk flow, the surge won’t last
long unless cows are getting adequate amounts of
high energy grain rations. For this job, we recom
mend Cow Chow D, the high efficiency milking
ration, fed according to individual production.
Both of these tips make sense from a nutritional stand
point. And both of them are sound as the extra dollars
many dairymen get from more milk produced by
following this sensible feeding plan.
