is reg istered under ROP Records of Performance lot of people dont real lze how heavy cow must milk to produce 17000 pounds of milk in 305 days explains Mr Faris To do that cow must produce 55 pounds at milk every day for 105 days One of these cows gave over 90 pounds at milk day at her peak and gave over 2600 pounds in one month There is no secret to high milk production asserts lttr Faris The chief qualities cow should have are good breeding background and good appetite Good management and feeding are equally important cow should be fed heav iest when she needs it most that is at peak production The higher you can raise the quantity of milk given at peak production the longer and more the cow will milk right through Too many dont start feeding cow until her production begins to
