Dewart Auction

Monday, June 27
Report supplied by PDA
CATTLE 214. Compared with
last Monday’s market, slaughter
steers grading Good & Choice
mostly $2 lower. Slaughter cows $1
to 12 lower. Low to Average Choice
Dairymen are challenged to
develop feeding systems to capitalize
on the high genetic ability of today's
dairy cows. These systems include
the use of high-moisture, fermented
feeds, high-moisture, high-energy
grains, and high-energy dry grain
rations.
These types of rations will pro
duce more acid than cows can
neutralize naturally. This increased
acid production results in a lowering
of rumen pH -- acidosis.
Without adequate buffering,
cows may eat less and use feed less
efficiently. As a result, production
can suffer.
Over 80 years of service to the dairy and livestock producer.
