Many people just put their dry cows in the back pen or back pasture and forget them until they drop their calf. Then they bring them into the barn, start feeding them chop, and wonder why they don’t milk. Yes, a dry* cow program is very important to a dairyman. Even though a cow is only dry 6-8 weeks and is producing a calf that you hope is strong and healthy when it hits the ground. Most of the calf is made in the last two months of the cows pregnancy or m other words during her dry period. It takes a high level of calcium and phosphorus to build bones, protein to grow hair, and also vitamins and trace minerals to develop the calf properly. To get this job done right you must have a balanced feeding program for the dry cows. From past experience AGRI-KING has learned that the most critical time for a dairy cow is the last three weeks of her dry period and the first three weeks of Southeastern Penna George F Delong Regional Manager 225 West Woods Drive Lititz Pa 17543 Call Collect 717 626 0261 Eastern Lancaster Co .. , —„ Henry Delong, Jr Melvin Herr Dn , .

ILL. «r i))_ ih & Northampton Co Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Oct 18,1975 to the conventional forms of fertilizer," the agronomist stated. "There are a lot of new exotics on the market but we don’t always know what their effect will be." The agronomist cautioned the farmers to be aware of what products and in what proportions they are in cluded in the fertilizer he buys. "If you’re not sure of what the product contains or want to know just what it’s effect will be, ask your her lactation. So, during this time it is especially important to see that she is fed a balanced ration. If a dry cow feed is made the AGRI-KING way and the cow only eats half of what she should, she is not on the AGRI-KING dry cow feeding program. It is not only important to get a balanced ration, it is also important to make it palatable so she will eat it. Sometimes this is hard to do. If a farmer can get a cow to drop her calf and go to peak production without problems, he has a cow that will - probably produce her inherited production. It is not always easy for a farmer to feed his dry cows right; but we feel that if he understands why it is necessary to take the little extra at tention it takes to do it right, most good farmers will do so. We’re convinced that if you take good care of your dry cows, you will have a lot less trouble with milk fever and breeding problems. South Central Penna James L Yoder Marlin E.
