[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1677324, member: 25884"] No grain, no green grass, just hay and not very good hay so nothing to help the production.... if she is making alot of milk still, milk once a day for about a week to prevent mastitis problems and relieve pressure... but if she has been milking/nursing calves she ought to dry up fairly well with no added supplements. There have been a few times on dairies that have had to withold water or only allow limited consumption.... but that is for real high producers. She should dry up fairly fast then she can get some green grass/grazing and she will start to regain. If I know that I am going to be drying up a cow after I take calves off her, then I stop grain feeding 2-4 weeks beforehand so she naturally slows down in production. [/QUOTE]
