ably due to the limited number Of rec
ords beginning at that time which were
not sufficient to eliminate individual
differences, The lowest records were
made by cows freshening in August.
The production decreased consistently
each month with COWS freshening from
April to August
If the study of records had been con-
fined to cows owned in Iowa, the adj
vantage of fall freshening would
doubtless have been more striking be-
cause in the colder portions Of the
country milk production is not affected
by extreme heat nor are the pastures as
seriously burned in summer.
Not only does fall freshening insure
greater production, but also larger

Time To Have Dairy Cows Frenshen

One of the most important consider
ations in dairy herd management, and
one which is given too little considera-
ton, is the question of the time Of
freshening Many men plan to have
their cows fleshcn in the spring so rs
to get large flow of milk at small
cost while the cows are OIL the good
spring and early summer pastures.
A little thought concerning the C.
suits of the spring time freshenins will
reveal the fact that this system is UNI
desirable, and that fall and early win
ter freshening will give far greater re-
turns financially, as well as adapt it
self to the rest OF the farming opera
tons on the general farm.
If a COW frcslitTls in the spring she
milks well during the spring and early
summer, but during the hot weather OF
midsummer when the pastures become
dried the milk flow is Decreased. Later
in the fall the pastures often improve,
due to fall rairs.-and the cows increase
their production somewhat. This does
not last long before it becomes ncccs-
sary to put the cows in the barn where
too often they receive nothing but dry
feed and consequently the cows dry up
early in the winter, and as result are
often dry three or four months. Be-
cause of the abrupt changes in feed and
management during the lactation per-
iod. and because of the extreme heat of
summer. cows freshening in the spring
are not capable of maximum produc-
ton.
With cows freshening in the fall. the
story is quite different one. III cows
freshen after they are put in the barn
in the fall the change from pasture to
stable feeding is made when the cows
are dry. and consequently their pro-
ductiOn is not affected by a change at
this time. and as a result milk well
during the winter and early spring.
When such cows are turned on pasture,
their milk increases considerably, ana
the cows produce well until the pasture
dries up in midsummer. 1t is then time
for fall frcshening animals to dry up
SO this pasture condition has no ill
effect on the lactation period.
Thus it seems that fall freshening
encourages maximum production.
From study of the register of merit
records of 5,772 Jersey cows. Profess
sor A. G. McCandlish of the dairy hus-
bandry section of Iowa State college
found that those cows freshening dur
ing the months of December to March
made the best records. This work fur
Their demonstrated that there was a
constant increase in records made
from cows freshening from September
to January. There was a~slisht de-
