[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 885728, member: 6897"] Yessir, almost 10 gallons....but these were exceptional milkers and there were only 3 like that. But 50 lbs. at dryoff was very common. Fourty won't even pay the feed bill on grain fed cattle, not even back in the 90's. Looks like these folks have a good setup. I'd like to know what price they get for their milk compared to regular dairies. Continueing to use home grown bulls will require some new genetics to be added "someday" I assume. Only other thing that didn't make sense was worrying about acidosis on a grass fed operation with no grain and running a 4.10% or higher butterfat. Just don't happen. Cattle with acidosis have depressed butterfat numbers. [/QUOTE]
