come, you've got to try and
balance protein and energy in
take.”-
Breneman said a good
production goal for a typical 1300-
pound cow would be 60 pounds of
milk a day, testing at four per
cent butterfat.
He noted that feed costs are
coming back down, but dairymen
still need to be careful in
determining the nutritional
quality of their cows’ rations. “I
think you should use as much
alfalfa as possible,” he said, “But
you have to know what’s in your
alfalfa before you can put it into
your feeding program. A forage
test is really good insurance. The
best rations include some alfalfa
and some corn silage.”
Two techniques which can save
feed costs, Breneman pointed
out, are a good worming program
for young stock, and keeping
cows bred.
Cutting the protein content of a
ration is usually not a way to
save, Breneman feels. He used
one example of a dairyman who
cut his ration from 24 percent
protein to 20 percent. The farmer
saved 9-cents in daily feed costs
for each cow, but he lopped 54-
cents off the value of each cow’s
production.
“Urea is going to become more
and more important in dairy
rations,” Breneman predicted.
“Dairy cows are competing for
soy protein with the export
market, and with food processors
in our own country. Urea is going
to have to replace some of that
soy protein ”
Breneman described a visit
he’d made earlier this year to a
soybean processor who
specialized in producing food for
people. He said there were huge
silos filled with soybean meal
that was to be made into ham
burger additive and bacon bits. If

Roy Breneman, an Agway dairy specialist in Harrisburg, was
a guest speaker last Saturday at the Pennsylvania Ayrshire
Club's 52nd annual field day. Breneman spoke on meeting
the challenge of high feed costs.
it weren’t for these markets, the
meal might otherwise go into
livestock rations.
Switching to urea should be
done gradually, Breneman
warned, or problems will
develop. The publicity given to
these problems has scared many
farmers away from urea, but he
said the problems can be avoided
with careful management.
Garry Rutter, promotion
director for the National Ayr
shire Association, was also at the
meeting. He urged the members
to use all the selling and
promotional tools available
through the association. Rutter
