All milk cows receive a TMR made up of alfalfa haylage,
corn silage, high moisture shell corn, and a PFR concen
trate. This PFR (Precision Formulated Ration) is balanced to
forage program and changes between 26% - 32% depending
on the protein in the haylage. The TMR is balanced between
65-75 lbs. of milk depending on the herd milk production.
Top producers receive a Maximum Density PFR 18% Top
Dress. Each high producer receives 6-7 lb. per day and this
PFR ration is adjusted to keep intake and production at a
maximum level.

While attending Cornell University, Steve was involved in
a pre-dip study and became aware of the importance of pre
dipping as well as post dipping of teats. All cows are spray
dipped with Quarter-Mate®, a .1% lodine product.
Top production requires quality forages. Alfalfa haylage
and corn silagennake up the forage diet which is fed in a TMR.
The milk cows have the TMR in front of them 22 hours every
day, and when troughs are cleaned each day there are 2
wheelbarrows full of TMR that goes to the heifers.
