We generally run around 70% on heifers and 60% on cows this time of year.<br /><br />We usually will get up to 230 cows milking a couple of times during winter and spring, and will get down to around 175 sometime during the summer. We've had to move several cows into beef earlier than normal because we would have gotten up as high as 250 in milk, and that's more than we can handle.Will Gilmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946903401021760988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109681358420328680.post-20788678272224362272010-04-01T08:08:59.218-05:002010-04-01T08:08:59.218-05:00I can't wait until things start to green up ar...I can't wait until things start to green up around here!
