raeNYSSA TY JOURNAL THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL. NYSSA. OREGON. THURSDAY. MAY 25. 1950 Production Cost Records Valuable By Harry Sandquist County Agent As an owner of milk cows, every dairyman wants to run his herd on a businesslike basis. He knows that the profit or loss returned by each cow is the only sound basis for decldilng whether to keep a cow and feed her well, or to ship her for slaughter. Profit or loss from cow can be guesswork, or. through production records it can be an accurate figure. The dairy herd improvement pro gram in Malheur county offers two methods that are useful to dairy men. The cost of either method is relatively inexpensive to the dairyman, when he considers the savings effected by culling out a single cow that does not pay for her feed, let alone the cost of labor and time involved in her keep The standard plan provides for an employed supervisor to keep dairy production records by visiting the farm once a month to weigh, sample and test the milk from each cow in the herd. He computes the pro duction for the full month, the value of the product and its value above or below the feed cost. Each cow has an individual record which is reported to the extension dairyman, who, in turn reports the records to the bureau of dairy Industry in Washington. D. C. Here the record is compared with records of her dam. and the known sires are classi fied for their ability or inability to transmit increased production to In making the award.
