OUTLOOK FOR THE NEW DAIRY.
YEAR „ • In the year we have just been '
through we were able to set our
sights as high as our cows and our.
pocketbooks would allow. Now that
We have entered into the new dairy
year we have to' restrict our,
production to about 85% of what
we produced last year. If we want
to ship more than that we have toy
bUy quota at a price of , about 1 gAc
per pound - if we can. find quota.
1976-77 for many of'us will be a
year of belt tightening. However,
it can be a year in' which we can:
improve our operations - if we are
• careful in what we do.
Assuming we- will .not be buying
quota, the first thing we must
consider is to reduee our total
production about 15% This means
that in a herd of 30 cows milking at'
about.11,000 pounds per year, we
will have to get rid of almost -50,000
pounds -- about 4 1/2 average cows '
or about 5-7 of our poor cows. If we
wait until September to do this we
inay,have to get rid of pp to 12 cows
in -order to reduce total prodUction
by '50,000 pounds.
This gives us a :real opportunity
to get rid of our poorest cows --
those that are costing us money.
Did you know that it costs us the
equivalent of 150-180 bales .of hay
per year to keep an . average
Holstein cow alive -- without
getting .any milk?
'/To those of us who are concerned
about our herd average, this move
• alone should up•your B.C.A. rating
5-10 points.
When deciding which cows to get
rid of, many things should ,be
considered. The simplest way to do
it is to take that cow's production
and fat test and figure out how
much she made you- in terms of
dollars:
Note: A cow producing 9850 lbs.
of 16%' milk will earn the same
money as a cow producing 10,000
'lbs. of 3.5% milk.
Then subtract' any vet bills and
medicines that you used on her in
the. last year. Next subtract , the
value of the lost milk while she was
under treatment. If your cows are
compared in this manner this will
give you a pretty good idea how
much they are making for. yciu.
Unless there is an, overriding'
reason, cull the'one'with the least
net income..
In the next, few weeks I would
like to discuss ways of reducing
some of your costs in areas such as;
feed supplements, medication and
general supplies. '
If you have any questions contact
.your OMAF Office in Walkerton.
