SEVEN • BRUCE COUNTY FARM REPORT' ° People have told me/ over the past couple of monthS about cows that 'are milking much better than they ever have before. These people are those who have been feeding "balanced-rations" that is feeding the cows exactly what they need to produce at the level they are at; no more, no less. Their next comment was "It's a shame it's•coming this year instead • of last", referring to the dairy , poliay. It is indeed, but these people have one hig advantage. They can cull their herd, get rid of the poor producers, chronic mastit- is ones; hard to breed ones, and without sacrificing any production, they' can upgrade their herd to a point that when the dairy policy does change, they are ready to go with good cows and heifers and not just average ones. We have a lot of people in this area who are holding onto, their cows, trying to' "wait out the dairy policy". The dairy policy did hit the farmers pretty hard, but it has • happened and we have to live with it (or modifications of it) for another year. In this County and this area of Ontario, the milk production has . substantially ' increased over the past few years. In short, • we have a lot more cows here now than vr had afew years ago. Some of ,these cows should not even be' here. They are nothing more than bodies' to fill the stall and eat the hay.' The. 'milk they give and the money they return won't even pay their keep. So why are they kept? Probably "just in case I need the extra milk" or "I want to milk 32 cows because I have 32 sta think we ' are only fooling ourselves, The :dairy -policy has , reduced production by 15% be- cause we can't sell 15%' of what we are producing. we will not need that "extra milk" this year. People are separating, feeding calves and pigs, giving away milk and dumping it out; just because. "We may need it later this year". This not only is a waste of milk but i cost to each person" who does it. -4 `01d-Bossie''- who yon-are-keeping- would probably make you more money as a beef cow. If yOu have been using A.I. her calf is probably a better milker than she is anyway. Beef is a poor price you say.. Bossie is worth $300. to you as beef. After your cost of .feeding, breeding, bedding- and labonr, to keep her around - will -she give you a net income of $300.? Use your pencil and find out. This can be a year to improve your herd's potential without harming yourselves. Cull your bottom 5 - 10 producers - look, at their' fat test too.: Get rid of the free loaders. If you do, by this time next year you may be feeding half to three quarters of the cows you have now and' getting the same amount or 'more milk. There are very few cows around who are producing what .they are capable of producing. Proper feeding and caring for the ones you keep will give you as great an income with a lot less work and cost. Wouldn't it be nice to be finished chores three quartersOf an hour sooner, and be able to feed five less bales of hay each day to get the same milk? At $1.00 per bale, that"is a saving of over $1500. per year on hay alone. pow much are your cows capable .of/producing or how much should they be fed? Contact your local OMAF office.
