“We wouldn’t like to fill our silos again without using Silo King in corn silage or
haylage, because there is absolutely no heat in the silage as it comes out of the
silo, and it stays fresher in the bunk longer. The overall quality of the silage is
better than ever before, and the cows eat more silage in a shorter period of time
Since we have better roughage and are on the complete Agri-King testing and
feeding program, our cows have been holding production longer through their
lactation. This is the first year our cows held production through the summer.
Our production on milking cows is up 16.1 lbs. per cow per day more milk than
one year ago and up 12 5 lbs. per cow per day on all cotfs. Our rolling herd
average is 16,050 lbs of milk and 633 lbs of fat, the highest we’ve ever been
The health of our cows has improved greatly. We haven’t eliminated all
problems, but have cut them to a minimum. We feel this is due to following the
Agri-King program as close as we can" ■» .
