PERFORMANCE and PROFITABILITY When you talk about perfor mance and profitability it is hard to beat the numbers at Moyer Village Farm located in Dublin, Bucks County. Clifford Moyer and sons Neal and Dave have 80 registered Holstems with an additional 80 calves and heifers. They milk and house the cows in a conventional tie-stall barn and farm 300 acres for corn, beans, alfalfa, and grass to feed the dairy herd with a TMR. In addition, they run their own retail milk outlet at the farm. In 1992, the Moyers made the switch to Purina 36 WCS base concentrate and North America 40D plus. At the time the herd was producing 18,500 m. “We saw what Purina was doing in other herds, so we made the change.” Neal said. "What we saw was milk.” Now the milk they see is not in neighbor’s bulk tanks. They see lots of milk in their own bulk tank.
