[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 185913, member: 852"] Had one dairy farmer say once - referring to the fact that a dairy cow needed at least 6 weeks dry - "Takes 3 weeks to shut 'em down and 3 weeks to start 'em up" - sounds about right. Some "shut down" quicker than others. (Off topic for you beef folks, but I like to see at least 45 days dry, preferably more like 60 days. Cow doesn't really [i]need [/i]more than that.) [/QUOTE]
