Dairy vs. Beef Management Click to forward

Dairy

Dairy Herd Goals Want year ‘round calving to maximize facilities. Want one year calving interval to have the cow at peak lactation as much as possible

Imaginary Dairy Herd 365 cows One cow calves every day so…… One cow ends VWP daily One cow gets bred every day One cow gets dried off every day

Peak lactation curve Peak Lactation Need to calve to lactate

2 peak lactations in 2 years = most milk Peak lactation - Goal 60 Day Dry Period 2 peak lactations in 2 years = most milk

1 peak lactation in 2 years = less milk Peak lactation - Bad Lost Milk No Dry Period 1 peak lactation in 2 years = less milk

Beef

Beef Cow Goals Wean as many pounds of calves as possible each year.

Beef Cows Limited breeding season…. Leads to a limited calving season. Allows weaning of all calves at ‘about the same age’. ‘All in all out’
