Fall Freshening Of Cows Advised By leveling out seasonal milk pro duction through good breeding and feeding practices,* North Carolina dairymen can meet the local de mand for Grade A milk in the fall and winter as well as summer mon ths, and ut the same time material ly increa.se he annual income from their herds, says John A. Axey, ? In charge o I dairy extension at Stare College. Mi)k production in May, 1949, was 65 percent greater than in November 1948, Arey asserts, adding that a fairly large surplus existed in most of the larger milk markets of the State during the summer. Since there was ho market for this milk In fluid form, it was converted into Prt//V7*/A/<c Phones 167 & 283 I butter and other product* and the ! dairyman was paid for It on a man- > ufacturlng basis ? about $2r30 per' 100 pounds :ess than if it had been j used in the bottle trade. Seasonal production to this extent is not only expensive to the producer, says Arey but it also makes plant operation' : difficult. I To avoid summer surplus and win j ter deficit of milk, the Slate College ] specialis; urges dairymen to breed j their coWs for fall freshening: He points out that cows bred from Mar ch 1 to 'June '15 will freshen from ( early Decerrtber to late March, a pe j riod when farmers have more time ! to devote to the herd than during I the busy summer months and when the price of milk is usually the high est. Cows bred from November 15 ' through February will freshen from jthe latter pan of 'August to early' ' December. It is very important that ! | a sizeable numfber of the herd fre^h- j I en during this period, when farmers' milk bases are being established. It, is also during this period that cowsj which freshened during the spring j and early summer months drop ra- j pidly In milk production. Arey says fall freshening also re sults in a larger annual milk pro- j ductlon per cow than spring frjsh-j ening. Cows which freshen fn the fall have a tendency to go up in pro- ! ductlon when turned on pasture1 in the spring, whereas the reverse is true when spring-freshened cows are placed on dry barn feed in the fall. Fall freshening also makes pos sibie a more efficient use of farm la- , bor, and young calves suffer less at ! this period of the ye?u from scours, heat, and f !}<>* Accidents Will Happen And there Is no way of knowing when you may be the victim.
