cutting costs you should look into
your feed ration ingredients. Ask
the questions (1) why is this in
here, (2) can I replace it with a
more economical feed, (3) do I
really want to reduce feed costs?
Since most of this column has
been aimed at Dairymen and I
have made a couple of snide
comments on DHIA, here are my
thoughts on that program. DHIA
and OS are two extremely useful
management tools for dairymen.
The unfortunate thing is that many
dairymen do not use this valuable
tool as an aid in decision making. It
is used as a sales tool (which is
good), as a brag item (bad), as a
social topic (neither), as a data

gathering tool for statistics, bull

(3) when to cull - let’s quit that 2nd

weak months fall, (5) excessive
dry periods, (6) perennial problem
cows - cow families, (7) where you
goofed (it is your fault when a
whole group of heifers are poor),
(8) when you could cut grain feed.
Yes DHIA is a much more useful
program than most Pennsylvania
dairymen are willing to admit. All
dairymen should use it.
