LARGER PRODUCING COWS 5 
LARGER PRODUCING COWS 
Each stanchion should contain a cow which 
is a large producer of milk. Each cow must 
consume feed for her own use before she can use 
feed to produce milk. After she eats enough to 
maintain her body all extra feed goes into milk. For 
this reason the large-producing cow produces milk 
much cheaper than the small-producing cow. 
Figures compiled by Professor Lockwood of 
Massachusetts Agricultural College from Massa- 
chusetts cows are as follows: 
Production per Cow 
per Year. Cost per Quart. 
Less than 5500 lbs... . 0721 
5501 to 7500 lbs..... .0624 
Over 7500 lbs........ .0552 
Professor White of Connecticut Agricultural 
College has compiled similar figures from dairy 
farms in Connecticut.
