Is anyone
making any money on skim milk these days?
Recent data shows that the consumption of skim milk products continues
to fall, while “whole” milk sales have grown.
Likewise, cheese and yogurt have market shares the “experts” did not
predict when the Federal Milk Order system and its companion Sire summary
formulas were developed.
The best advice in breeding for the future is to resist being hidebound by the
system designed for the past. The cow
of the future needs to be adaptable to whatever premium opportunity eventually
comes your way. The beginning tools
to create this cow include “aAa” Breeding Guide, polled heads, A2A2 Beta
Casein, and AB/BB Kappa Casein, with positive deviations for butterfat % or
protein %. The tools to harvest this
yield profitably come from forages that have superiority in rumen
digestibility. Our current sire
offerings are compatible with Byron Seeds forage varieties, and the net result
is Profit = greater income without
greater cost.
