[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 646980, member: 6897"] More cows may give you more milk and more cash flow but expenses go up proportionatly. If you're losing money on 150 you'll lose money on 300 (twice as much) without other changes. Improving the productivity of the existing herd of breeding "up" will give you the increased milk and/or components while not necessarily increasing other expenses. Expenses are the only thing we can control as we have no input on determining the price of milk. In short I'd rather have 100 cows milking an 80 pound tank average than have 135 milking a 55 lb. average. [/QUOTE]
