This herd of five cows averaged 9 70 pcunds of milk' and 40.4 pounds of butterfat per cow for the month. The five cows consumed 1500 pounds of hay and 189t pounds of grain. In getting the high production, Mr. Geary fed his cows at the rate of one pound of grain for every 2.7 pounds of milk they produced. Fig ured at market prices the total feed cost was $28.44 .Xpr the five cows for the month. In terms of feed ccst per pound of butterfat. It was 14c per pound. ' , Nine numbers living in Cass coun ty had 336 cows in their herds lust month that netted the owners $C.12 per cow above feed cost. This in cluded the feed that 00 dry cow:; consumed, also.; 1. . A cow consumes about 4 pounds of water for each , pound of mi!k she produces. Icy water these cold morn ings is not very appetizing so the cow consumes very little of it. therefore the production is cut down, natural ly.
