Lancaster DHIA Herd
Comparisanr, for July
JAY MYLIN
Manager
July *96
Lancaster DHIA data shows
some interesting comparison for
July 1995 to July 1996. Favorable
weather in July 1996 helped pro
duction and SCC. Standardized
150-day production is up 1.4 lbs.
over July 1995. Persistency index
is 4% higher showing cows are
holding their lactation curves very
well in July 1996. Days in milk is
still running a little higher show
; .g the effects of last summer and
fall breeding problems.
Cost to feed a milking cow
shows an increase of $.75 per day
more. Feed cost per 100-lb. milk
shipped out of your tank is $5.95.
It takes S'A lbs. of milk more per
day to cover the increased feed
cost from last year. The big posi
tive in our favor is the increase in
milk price of $1.71 from July
1995. The higher milk and higher
feed cost show $.15 per cow high
er income over feed cost
