[QUOTE="Jay, post: 493979, member: 41"] But also for a family milk cow you don't NEED 70+ pounds (9+ gallons/day!). Yes, grain is energy dense....giving Mama cow more energy to sustain her weight. When the grass is up and green, I get 1/2 cream 1/2 milk. On just hay (alfalfa or grass) I get about 1/4 cream. DON'T underestimate grass----it is truely cow's living food! Jay [/QUOTE]
