Fewer Cows,
More Milk
UNIVERSITY
PARK (Centre Co.)
Pennsylvania has fewer
dairy cows and has
dropped in total annual
milk production since
1986. However, dairy
cows in the state are
producing more milk,
says a dairy specialist in
Penn State’s College of
Agriculture.
The top five states in
milk production in 1990
were Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, New York, Min
nesota and Pennsylva
nia. “But it’s possible
we could become num
ber three during the
19905, because New
York and Minnesota
have been losing dairy
cows faster than Pen
nsylvania,” said Dr.
Lawrence Specht, pro
fessor of dairy science.
“In the four years fol
lowing 1986, the state
lost 51,000 cows,” said
Specht “But during the
same period, milk pro
duction per cow
increased by 712
pounds to 178 pounds
each year. This trend of
more milk per cow
probably will continue,
perhaps at an increasing
rate.”
In 1986, the state’s
734,000 dairy cows
produced 10.15 billion
pounds of milk, or
13,831 pounds per cow.
In 1990, the state’s
dairy cow population
was 683,000 and their
total milk production
was 9.93 billion pound
s, or 14,543 pounds per
cow.
Despite increases in
production per cow,
Pennsylvania dropped
220 million pounds in
total annual production
over the four-year per
iod. “Pennsylvania
ranked 16th in produc
tion per cow in 1987,”
Specht said. “In 1988
and 1989 we were 17th,
