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.
