A3B-Lancattor Farming, Saturday, March 26, 1994 Susquehanna County Holds Dairy Day (Continued from Pago A3l) that there will be “megadairies” with 1,000 to 5,000 cows. He believes that the family farm will have 200 to 600 head of cows, and that small family farms with 60 to 120 cows can remain in business only if they are well managed, with low debt Along with continued improve ment in dairy stock, there will be a continuing move toward maxi mum pasturing. This will lessen labor neieds, and with the cows doing the harvesting the largest economy can be achieved. Muller described conditions in New Zealand, where year-around pasturing is possible, and showed that maximum production did not always maximize profits. But the New Zealand system uses a great deal less labor, uses less feed except from pastures, and has low er mastitis than U.S. dairying. Some of their practices might be useful here.
