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.
