Are you having any herd
health problems or herd man
agement problems? If so, plan to
attend a dairy meeting on Tues
day, February 18th in the Ex
tension meeting room in the
basement of the Farm & Home
Center located at 1383 Arcadia
Road, Lancaster. Dr. Sam Guss,
Extension Veterinarian and Don
ald Ace, Dairy Specialist both of
Penn State University, will be
our speakers The meeting will
start at 9:30 am. and continue
until 3:00 p.m.

It is a good practice to chal
lenge dairy cows with extra feed
at freshening time. This is the
most practical way to determine
the inherited milk producing
ability of each cow in the herd.
The challenge feeding should
start 2 to 4 weeks before the
cow freshens. Start with about 4
pounds of grain per day and in*
crease the amount gradually un
til Hie cow is eating 1 to Im
pounds of grain per day per 1 00
pounds of body weight (10 to 15
pounds of grain per day for 1000
pound cow). This grain should
be in addition to all the high
quality forage she will eat.
Following freshening, in
crease the amount of feed grad
ually, using a properly balanced
ration of grain and forage, until
you reach the amount of feed
each cow can handle safely.
How can a dairyman know
when his forage and grain ra
tion is balanced for protein, vi
tamins and minerals? How does
he know when the amount of
grain fed can be reduced, so
that the cow will rely more on
forage for economical milk pro
duction? These questions can be
answered scientifically through
the Pennsylvania State Univer
sity Forage Testing Service.)
Contact the Agricultural Ex
tension Office for details about
this valuable service which is
now available to all dairymen in
Pennsylvania.

Dairymen should be shouting,
Close the door! It’s cold outside,
when the barn door is left open
in the winter. A cold blast of
winter air on a cow may be all
that’s needed to trigger a seri
ous case of mastitis.
685
684
654
684
But don’t keep the bam too
hot, either. Dairy cows need
fresh air and a cool barn tem
perature of about fifty degrees.
What they don’t need are blasts
of cold sub-freezing air from
outside.
683
682
679
678
665
A barn with temperature au
tomatically controlled by a ther
mostat and fan is ideal but
not always available. So you can
use windows for ventilation. If
you keep an eye on things and
carefully adjust according to
temperature there’s nothing
wrong with ventilating this way.

Forage testing volume in
creased by 84% in 1967-68 Much
ot this increase apparently has
come from increased activity on
