Cost levels and off-farm op
portunities have also effected
dairy farming, Mathis said.
During the past three years
smaller forage supplies and
rising costs of dairying have
brought about an increase in
herd liquidations and culling
in the Northeast and the
South. Farnrt have grown
larger. Now specialized herds
are using improved breeding,
feeding and management to
raise output per cow and in
crease efficiency.
Despite higher aggregate
sales and consumption, per
capita consumption of all prod
ucts this year is likely to be
about two pounds below last
year’s 628 pounds. In 1965 per
capita consumption is expected
to decline more than this year,
because less high-fat products

For example, as little as 600 pounds
feed invested in a dry cow returns
much as 2,000 pounds of milk. Yo
