Average Cost of Raising Dairy Calf

WASHINGTON, D. c., April L.
According to Investigators in the De-
partment of agriculture the average
net cost of raising a dairy heifer one
year old on Wisconsin farm is
500. SO and of two year heifer SOL. Al.
These figures are applicable to other
dairy districts in the North and East
where land and feed values are similar
to those in Wisconsin. They are
based on data obtained from raising
1T calves from birth to the time
they enter the dairy herd. The de-
tails, with a complete summary Of
the investigation, have recently been
published by the Department of agri-
culture in Bulletin No. 40, under the
title of ''The Cost of Raising a Dairy
Cow"
There are in the United States over
81, 600, 600 dairy COWS. These figures
give some idea of the Importance OF
this economic problem to the country
as whole, for these cows must be
replaced every few years. The cost
of the production of these heifers is
a large item in keeping down the
profits OF the dairymen.
The new bulletin contains numerous
tables and several illustrations of the
Jersey calves from which the items of
cost we're obtained.
The most important item was the
cost of the food, which was estimated
at market value and amounted to
nearly two thirds OF the total net
cost of the heifer, while labor formed
1917 per cent of the cost
Figures for the average net cost Of
the one year old heifer are as follows:

Other costs. O.3o
Total. ............$ $50. 48
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-04-15

To this should be added the initial
value of the calf, which was estimated
to be S7.04, making a total cost at the
end of one year of $40. so. This
charge is justified in view Of the fact
that dairy COWS are credited with this
item in determining the cost of milk
production. By allowing $500 credit
for manure. it leaves a net cost OF
$50. 81 at the end of the first year.
Figures for the average net cost of
the two-year-old heifer are as follows:

The fight Of the Pacific Northwest
for the location in this section of one
of the federal reserve banks provided
for in the new currency bill has been
lost for the present, at least. The
committee, which made a detour of
the country to ascertain where these
banks should be located, decided to
place but one of them on the Pacific
Coast and that at San Francisco.
Others we're located at New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
Richmond. Atlanta, Chicago, st.
Louis, Minneapolis. and Dallas,
Texas. The committee, it is an
nounced, called attention to The fact
that it could not find grounds for the
establishment of more than one ban
on this Coast, but held out the hope
that in the near future another would
be authorized for the Northwest. 1t
is probable that branch banks will be
established at Portland and Seattle.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-04-15


One half of the feed cost the first
year and one third for the full two
years is for whole and skimmilk.
By far the most expensive period
in the life of the calf is the first four
weeks, the cost being nearly double
that for any other four week period.
This high cost is occasioned by its
being dependent almost entirely upon
wholemilk.
The foregoing figures show that 1T
costs more to raise calves to maturity
than is commonly supposed, and they
support the advice which the Depart
ment is continually trying to impress
upon dairy farmers, that it does not
pay to raise any but the best heifers.
Raising scrub heifers and selling
them at So to 1910 apiece, as many
do, is Improbable except on cheap
land or under other very favorable
conditions. But it does pay to raise
the best heifers, for in good dairy
sections well-bred heifers are worth
considerably more than $50 when
two years of age. Furthermore, dairy
farmers as rule are obliged to raise
their own stock, as it is difficult to
buy productive COWS at reasonable
price. In some sections of the West
where alfalfa is worth only 81 90 or
So. 90 ton, or in the Southwest where
pastures furnish feed the. greater
part of the year, this cost may be
greatly reduced. Even where it costs
$50 to raise a heifer, two thirds of
this amount Is charged for feeds at
market prices. a large part of which
can be grown on the farm at profit.
Thus by raising the heifers the dairy
farmer finds home market for feeds
grown on the farm at remunerative
prices, and at the same time aids in
maintaining the fertility of the farm.
