The effect of flushing on the cow isn’t hard.
She is cleaned and the area around the vulva is
shaved and disinfected. She is given a spinal
block to keep her comfortable while the proce
dure is being done.
A healthy cow or heifer can be flushed as fre
quently as every six weeks. If it’s the right kind
of cow, there could be some profit in flushing
that frequently.
The Hants’ 49-head registered Holstein held
has a BAA of 108.4, and is considered a high
type herd.
While irost dairy farmers divide their herd
according to production groups for feeding,
which is a good practice, the Honts also divide
the herd into groups for breeding purposes.
But according to Kirby, he and Cheryl really
have three breeding programs one for Red
and White Holsteins, another stressing deep
pedigree, and one that stressed index for selling
bulls and embryos.
The milk sales help the overall form cash flow,
and the herd averages more 21,000 pounds of
milk.
Kirby's parents bought the farm in 1959 and
Kirby and Cheryl started dairying on their own in
1981. His father.had a dispersal and Kirby and
Cheryl bought 14 animals at that sale. Kirby had
also bought a few cattle through 4-H so they
-started with 40, and they said they don’t plan any
large herd expansions.
For the Horsts, expanding their business
efforts on marketing genetics, and approaching
the business with the necessary effort, is what has
really allowed them to progress with their busi
ness and better support their family.
"It's great to be part of the team at
ADC that produces a quality
product and stands by its farmers."
