Sexed semen is just bad, no late to the party. You can't use it without creating too many milk cows, and that makes milk and cows too cheap. I've never used it, never will.



You milk 3x, try to put up good forages, have a perfectly balance ration, sand bedded stalls, fans, cooling misers, plenty of water. Many other things all equal more milk.


Milk should be on a quota system just like tobacco was. Each farm gets x amount of pounds. No more allowed to be sold. The dairy industry in this nation is circling the drain. Either that or we just advise all farmers to sell out and let the mega company dairies take over our milk production. If all we want is cheap milk sold as a loss leader then I say just let the megas take over. If we care about the farmers then we need to go quota right now.
