DAIRYMEN FIND PRODUCTION OF BUTTERFAT HIGH COST OF PRODUCTION HIGHER THAN BUTTERFAT PRICE. Average Production Low in Herd Im provement Association During November. During the month of November, lairy cows in the Umatilla Dairy lerd Improvement Association pro- iuced 261,802 pounds of milk con- aining 12,373.6 pounds of butter at. The total cost of teed for the lonth amounted to $2,395.47, and he average teed cost of production per pound of butterfat was 19.4e. The price received per pound of utterfat averaged 19c. According to these figures the dairymen lost, loney on their feed costs alone, to ■ay nothing of the cost of labor, axes, interest on Investment, and iepreciation. Below Normal. The production of this period is ar below normal, and the average roduction of the Umatilla associa- ion is below the average. Last year he Umatilla association ranked well oward the top in production, while his year the average of this asso- iation is lowest in the state. Cows Lost Flesh, There are many reasons for the >w production in this section this ear. In the first place, the dairy • ws were turned out on the pas • ires early in the spring and 1 >oor condition due to the shortag •f hay and the relatively low price ■ t butterfat. The growing season ist year was slow and backward, nd the pastures did not grow nor- tally. As a result, cows lost flesh nd went down in production. Due :i the apparent shortage of hay for his winter, dairy cows were left i ut on the pastures later than usual i nd they are not being ted properly ow to facilitate maximum produc- Lon. Emergency Crop* Raised. Various emergency hay crops vere raised this year to supplement ie frozen-out alfalfa. None of these mergency crops can take the place ' f alfalfa hay when it comes to pro- ucing milk and butterfat. The prevailing low prices offered r butterfat has Influenced many lairymen to dry up their cows long efore the end of the normal lacta- ion period, thus lowering produc- ion considerably. At the same time, he low prices offered for beet have aused the dairymen to hold cows in ne herd that otherwise would be ent to the butcher. Two or three loarders in a herd will lower the ■verage production more than will mproper feeding. Building Up Herd. The dairyman who Is feeding well, ind who has systematically culled ils herd Is still showing a profit ibove feed costs, and he Is building up his herd so that he will be in a losition to make money when nor- nal markets do come back.
