VIII get it all back again when she
gets to milking, for any feed she gets
above the support of her own frame
and the growth of the calf will be
turned into flesh and fat, which in
turn will be converted into milk when
she freshens.
Aside from this consideration the
calves, II the dams are we'll fed, start
IN life with the best show possible and
are not puny Weaklings which may OF
may not live and amount to little
whether the mother is a beef or a
dairy COW.
Many man who keeps cows and
complains that they do not pay has
himself to thank, for the poor, half
starved things after they have dropped
puny, understood calves, do no good
till they get on grass, and the best OF
the season is half gone before they
have recuperated sufficiently to give a
good milk flow.
Not long after the COW has begun
to "pick up" the flies come, then short
er pastures, then the milk decreases
and soon she is dried UP to go through
another winter of semi starvation.
Take the best Jersey or Holstein and
she cannot make milk from nothing
and would soon develop into a scrub
and give only a scrubs yield of milk
if starved and neglected.
In addition to the feed and shelter
advised at the beginning of this article
give the dry cow a lot to exercise in
where she will not be disturbed by
more active and younger animals, fol
as she advances in Orepnano1y che ba
comes more uncertain in her move
ments.
Watch COW heavy with calf and
see how deliberate she is in her move
,lnents and yet she is sometimes placed
at the mercy of steers and colts if she
must share a yard in common with
them and accidents frequently occur
which could have been prevented.
