Hold their peaks a lot longer and keep their condition” FORAGE PROGRAM GRAIN PROGRAM Hay Corn Sllaga “We started fanning on our own in January of 1983. We were feeding a traditioinal 40% concentrate and rolled grain mix and ourRJLA. was 16,200 lbs. milk and just over 600 lbs. fat. In November of 1984 we went on the Master Mix Protek concentrate program. This prog ram, along with better breeding and A.I. management, boosted the herd average 2400 lbs. of milk in the first year. So, by November, our R.H.A. was 18,600 lbs. milk and 671 lbs. fat” “Then, a year and a half ago, we started topdressing the Master Mix Protek 1890’s. The 1890’s really help a cow milk to her genetic potential. The cows don’t necessarily peak higher, but with the 1890’s they hold their peaks a lot longer. They also keep their condition. The cows love the 1890’s. In fact, they’ll go for the 1890’s before the rolled shelled com.” We now have a R.H.A. of 20.252 lbs. milk and 7IS lbs. fat Nine cows out of 41 were milked over 100 lbs. in April. We are pleased with breeding and our 13.0 calving interval which isn’t too bad considering the way they’re milking. A good feeding program and. good A.I. and breeding management has gotten us to the point where we are working with better cows, because we can now cull what we want to!” Check With Your Participating Dealer SENSENIG FEED MILL New Holland, PA 17557 (717) 354-4756 BIG VALLEY FEED & GRAIN Belleville, PA 17004 (717) 935-2163 MaatarMlx ProTak® & Rotlad Grain Topdraaa Maatar Mix Protak® 1890’# Master it* Mix W * l*v ' A< SNIDER’S ELEVATOR Williamson, PA 17270 (717) 369-3758 MAUGANSVILLE CUSTOM FEED SERVICE Maugansvllle, MD 21767 (301) 791-5288 Mixed Herd averages of 22,148 tbs. milk for Holsteins and 14,100 for Jerseys on Master Mix Protek® RODNEY RANKIN AND SON JASON Burgettstown, Pennsylvania “. .we’re back to Master Mix ProTelcto stay.” MILKING RATION ROUGHAGE PROGRAM PROGRAM Hay **4MiM«Cdrn Corn Sllaga Mastar Mix Prolate® 25% Hi-Fat HERD PRODUCTION RESULTS Master Mix Master Mix Holsteins Jerseys April 1988 April 1989 Date Number of Lactatlng Cows 22 Prbductlon/Cow/Dry 70 DHIA Rolling Herd Avg.
