They do it to make more milk ... and more money. Many report 1,000 pounds more milk during the next lactation when a dry cow is properly conditioned on Purina D & F Chow. You feed it according to body weight. ** a thousand-pound cow, for example, needs only 10 pounds a day. Purina D & F —full name, Dry and Freshening Chow—is specially designed to help build body condition, which later converts to low cost milk. You'll find D & F in coarse or pellet form; whichever fits your feeding situation best. Either way, it’s one of the smartest feed buys on the market today.
