291# of milk and 707#.0f fat. _
WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS AT COCALICO FARMS?
Ask Paul B. Zimmerman and He will say HERD
HEALTH. Too many times we stress Production, in
creased Fat, high herd averages, etc. when without
HERD HEALTH NONE of these would be possible.
Paul had an excessive amount
of milk fever in his herd. Now it
is down to almost none! He soys
"I am well pleased with my 1967
record of 16,553 pounds of milk
and 633 pounds of fat on 28.7
Holstein cows".
