rs*vj Livestock Notes I (Continued from Pago A 22) depends on the nutritional needs of the cattle and the primary for age being fed. If the cattle arc being fed high-quality forage, the nutritional needs to be met by the supplemental feeds will be lower than if the forage is of poorer qual ity. The cost of the ration being fed will vary with changes in rela tive prices among all feed alterna tives. including the forages. In fact, if there is a choice of forages, the poorer quality forage may be the least cost, depending on the prices of supplemental feeds.

The Coolidges and their em ployees arc similar to most people when raced with change. Changes and related costs are hard to justify when the results aren’t immediate. “Bob Manning, Anne Czymmek and Dairylca are very supportive, though. They encourage their farmers to make more money by making these milking and clean ing changes,’’ said Erick. Erick said he and Dixie buy in bulk to save money on some of these items. The more expensive items arc paid for in the long run by the resulting increased milk production and milk quality, he explained. Thanks to the new preparation techniques and the other changes the Coolidges have made, their bacteria level is down and the herd has had less mastitis which means better milk quality.

As an added bonus, less mastitis also means healthier cows and therefore, increased produc tion. In fact, the Coolidgcs’ herd average increased 3,000 pounds since they began instituting these changes in their operation. “We arc pleased that Dairylca, our Cooperative, became our ‘partner’ in this quest to earn quality premiums,” said Erick. “Working with member-farmers to improve their productivity and profitability is what Dairylea’s all about.” Dairylca, a Syracuse-based dairy cooperative with more than 2,300 member farms throughout the Northeast, markets approxi mately 3.1 billion pounds of milk annually. Dairylea participates and is invested in a milk market ing network stretching from Maine to Maryland to Ohio. For information on membership in Dairylea. call 1-800-654-8838.
