“Our objective is the bottom line -
net value of milk over feed costs.”
“When we moved here a little less than three years ago, this fai m didn’t have any
alfalfa, so we’ve been feeding'a combination of wheatlage and corn silage. Our for
age has been testing between 14$ and 15$ crude protein on a dry matter basis.
"Soy PLUS is our primary protein source and we’ve been able tp feed very high
levels of Soy PLUS without cows going off feed. One cow that tested 132 lbs. of '
milk last test is getting 15 lbs. of the Soy PLUS mix per day.
“A major benefit of SoyPLUS is its consistency - it’s the same every week. There’s
never any difference in color or texture or weight. And it’s very palatable. That’s
the key to feeding milk cows. I don’t care how good a ration looks on paper - if
cows won’t eat it, they’re not going to pi oduce milk on it.
“Our main objective is the bottom line - net value of milk over supplemental
feed costs. Since we switched to feeding SoyPLUS, our supplemental feed costs
have been steadily going down. Herd averages are nice, but the bottom line is
what pays the bills ”
