That is a tair question. The
answers may seem simple but
your role in carrying it out may
well be hard work. Fust ot all, U
may mean a complete change in
the way you operate. Second, u
may mean torcuig yourselt into the
leadership rule I discussed last

Lei's look al some examples ut
changes that I have observed dial
could increase mcume.
Feeding more economically
This is especially true tor dairy
and hog operations. Most
dauyproducers waste JO to 30
percent ot their teed dollar. How
can this waste be corrected?
Use torage tests and a teeding
program as a guide. That is a basic
requirement toward more
economical teed use.
Weigh teed. Then teed in
accordance with a cow's needs. Be
especially Kind to tresh cows and
tirsl-calt heiters.
Feed most ot the high energy
gram teed duruig the tirsl one
third ot the lactation.
✓ Mix part of all of the grain
with silage if your cows are in a
tree-stall system. 11 you do this you
should probably liave ample bunk

lf you use a total or partial
mixed ration with a split herd or a
herd ted in shuts, use a dittereul
level ut production tor tirst call

Feed gram to cows three
'tunes per day it you have a stall

transponder feeder, use a lower
eul-otl level tor first-calf heifers
than for older cows.
Produce good quality forage
because forage quality has an
effect on other ration ingredients.
-- Use the least expensive ration
that dues the job. Stay clear of
expensive additices that do nothing
lor profits except to reduce them.
