First you need a benchmark
BY ALAN SCOTT
How do you know if your
business is well? First, you
need a benchmark. You can't
go anyplace if you don't
know where you arc. to start
with. Secondly, you need to
know "what's good" -what
arc other people in the same
business doing? Then you
need a modest goal-onesou
eery meet in 12 months' time.
How can you go anyplace if
you don't know where you're
going?
How does this work in
practical terms? A dairyman
looks over Dairy Herd
Improvement summaries and
finds a range from below
11,000 pounds per cow to
11,000 pounds. He deter-
mines where he is in the
range either by checking his

D.H.1.A. records or by add-
ing up the weights on his
milk statement and dividing
by the average number of
cows. Suppose you find your-
self at 12.000 pounds. You
want a challenge and so you
set a goal to reach 13,000
pounds in one year.
It has been easy so far. It
gets tougher from now on.
Milk production is an overall
indicator of the success of
your dairy business. You now
have to identify the many
factors that affect milk
production. You atso have to
criticize, constructively. the
system or management
program that you are using
with each factor.
Take a blank page. Put
Milk Production at the top of
the page. Put down the dollar
value that is represented by
an extra 1.000 lbs. of milk
per cow. If you haven't a
quota. jot down the savings
that result if you produce
your quota with fewer cows.
Canfarm summaries indicate
direct costs of S800 to $900 to
keep a cow for one year.
List Feeding under Milk
Production and under it list
the various points that could
affect feeding -overfeeding
protein. uuderfeeding
protein or energy. wrong
ratio of calcium and
phosphorus. poor dry cow
program, inadequate heifer
nutrition and so on.
You can go on to a breed-
ing heading and jot down

Information.
ifyour breeding statistics
are poor -look for reasons.
Nutrition could be an
important factor. You'll
certainly want to pay special
attention to your heat de-
tcction system.
You can carry on listing
headings such as Calf
Mortality, Sire Selection.
Milking Equipment.
Mastitis. Forage Program.
and so on. Jotting down
points will bring ideas to
mind. It will also map otu all
the factors that can influence
your production. This makes
it easier to remember what
you want to ask when you
sisit your veterinarian. your
unit veterinarian. the dairy
extension worker.. (he Milk
industry Branch rep. and
your forag* extension
worker. It will also help you
to pick up pertinent fact -
sheets at the local Ag. Office
and elsewhere.
This system likely seems
like a lot of fuss. However.
such a flow chart will help
you to see at a glance all the
factors that are affecting milk
production. When all k said
and done. milk production ss
your grade as a manager. Its
the end result of all your
activities. it's like your score
cm an exam.
Listing the different
factors separately is a start
on prong to yourself that
low production doesn't just
happen -there are reasons
for it it can be changed. if
sou w ant to v.-cirk at it It
won't happen overnight. but
dramatic changes do happen.
