We saw a definite increase in fresh cows, and we believe they are holding on longer.” John Rolar manages Will-Ja Farms, a family operation that prides itself on good record-keeping. And that pretty much comes naturally to John, who handles the records of many fellow dairymen asaDHIA supervisor in Cumberland County. In fact, it was through some of those farmers that John heard of Bio-Boost, and about the milk increases this relatively new product was generating. “I began using Bio-Boost in October of 'B6, says John, “and I've been feeding it ever since. On fresh cows, we’d estimate an increase of ten percent But the mam reason we like Bio-Boostis that they’re peaking longer They're getting up there to 80 to 90 pounds and hanging in there," he explained. “Before, they'd get up there and go right back down, but with Bio-Boost, they’re leveling out, staying up there " 235 lbs. 54.0065.75, 1-2 210-240 lbs. 53.25-54, 2-3 200-250 lbs. 52.7563.25, 2-4 200-270 lbs. 50.0062.75.
