size, labor costs will also
increase. Chances are, your
production per cow will drop
- at least 10 percent during the
expansion years. There goes
your margin and your
family satisfaction.
If you’ve stuck with me
this far, you can probably
appreciate why I am such a
nut on advocating getting
good before getting too big
too soon. (It also contributes
less to the milk surplus
problem).
So, now is the time to pay

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -
Three University of
Maryland Extension faculty
members have received
substitutes, like urea, or to
alternative type feeds such
as brewers grams, be sure
you have your ration
propel ly balanced, your
cows healthy, and make the
changes gradually.
Observe cows closely for
heat and make sure their
reproductive tracts are
healthy before breeding.
Turning cows out for
exercise will aid heat
detection and enhance better
herd health.
■Keep the herd healthy.
Dry pens, no drafts, fresh air
and a clean barn will help a
lot. Work closely with your
veterinarian on vaccination
programs and other
preventive herd health
measures.
Be sure your milking
system is well-maintained
and functioning properly.
And, it’s always good to re
evaluate your own milking
techniques and your mastitis
treatment program, too.
