Effect of yearly milk per cow on profitability of dairy herds

Call, Edward P.; Dunham, James R.
An analysis of Kansas Holstein herds in

1992 indicated that the yearly milk production

per cow had a significant effect on

returns to labor and management. The

lowest quartile herds (13,445 lb per cow

average) had a negative return to management.

Herds averaging 20,614 lb per cow

yielded $479 return to management. Records

become increasingly important in

managing the dairy operation, especially

those that are readily analyzed and predict

the degree of economic change when management

is modified.
