Click to forward

2 Dairy

3 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

4 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

5 Peak lactation curve Peak Lactation Need to calve to lactate

6 2 peak lactations in 2 years = most milk
Peak lactation - Goal 60 Day Dry Period 2 peak lactations in 2 years = most milk

7 1 peak lactation in 2 years = less milk
Peak lactation - Bad Lost Milk No Dry Period 1 peak lactation in 2 years = less milk

17 Dairy Herd Year 365 Days Voluntary Waiting Period Dry 23 Period Breed
60/365 = 16.4% Voluntary Waiting Period Dry Period 60/365 = 16.4% Breed 23 Calving Lactation 305/365 = 84% Days in milk = 150 Gestation 282/365 = 72% Pregnant and milking = 222 = 61%

18 Beef

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

20 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’

Introduction.  In the past cattle were bred for three main reasons: 1. To provide milk 2. To provide beef 3. To aid in farming – pulling ploughs etc.
