“When we’re up to 210 cows, we
should have four-months of storage
and I can load out our Zook
spreader in about a minute and a
half.
The engineers even recom
mended we put it down more in
front, but we were interested in
aesthetics, too. So,we kept if off to
the side of the loafing bam.
A drive-through mixer wagon is
used for feeding in the new bam.
Hie mineral portion of the TMR
ration is formulated with F.M.
Brown’s and the forage goes to
Penn State for analysis.
“Nutrition is so important,” Curt
said.
“We have a certain genetic base
to work with here in our herd but to
meet its potential you need the
nutrition.”

Dairyman’s pledge
(Continued from Page A 26)
“We use minimal bedding. Some
studies at Cornell showed that
cows prefer the mats. They'll
spend more time lying on them
instead of standing in the aisles
and they give higher production.
“As far as the manure system is
concerned, we had the sloping
terrain so why not take advantage
of it.
The herd is divided into four
production groups
At the i very top is about the
leading 10 percent, milking around
90 to 100 pounds. The herd includes
two 2E cows. These top producers
get a special added top dressing of
such things as bypass proteins,
dried brewers grain, soybean
meal, etc.
“We go beyond wfaat we feed the
80-pound producers and try to
minimize the weight loss these top
milkers are experiencing,” Curt
explains
Below the 80-pound producers
are those in the 50 to 55-pound
category and then the under 35-
pound milkers, which get only
haylage, silage and com grain.
Once a day, about six pounds of
alfalfa hay is fed, too.
“Presently, our rolling herd
average is around 16,000 pounds
and just under 600 of fat,” Oort
said.
“But we’re not culling now
because we’re trying to build up
the herd size. When we were
selling breeding stock, the average'
was up around 17,200 with 630 fat.”

major guideline, according to
Curt. It’s profit over feed~cost per
individual animal.
The dry cows also get special
attention. They’re taken out of the
free-stall bam to get them out of
the moisture and divided into two
groups for dietary attention,
depending bn wtuch part of their
dry period they’re in.
And thus, with this latest major
expanion, the pledge of the parents
is coming true.
And even the cows appear to be
cooperating.
“We’ve been on a run of twin
births,’ ’ Russell Dietrich explains.
“We’ve had six sets just
recently.
“Only one set of bulls, two with a
bull and heifer each and three sets
of twin heifers.”
If this birtbing run continues, it
won’t take too long to get up to that
210-cow capacity.
