Cooling, Storage, And Transporation Of Milk And Cream, P. A. Downs, F. D. Yung
Cooling, Storage, And Transporation Of Milk And Cream, P. A. Downs, F. D. Yung
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The care given milk and milk products should be such that they will be relished by young and old alike. Greater use of milk can be encouraged by serving fresh milk cold. Cooling of milk also insures a fine product several hours after production. This is important not only for milk that is to be used, but for milk or cream that is to be sold.

Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis

Milk good cows. It pays if you know how. Good dairy cows will always make money. Scrub, poor, or common cows never bring a good profit and usually cause a loss. Why waste feed and labor on inefficient producers, the kind that never make a satisfactory profit? Join a cow testing association. Let the tester keep books on your cows and let the milk scale and the milk sheet point out the money makers. Improvement comes only from selection and breeding.

Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan

Calf raising begins before the calf is born. A cow that is healthy and in good physical condition will, in all probability, drop a strong, vigorous calf. The feeding and care of the cow before calving is therefore of the greatest importance for the future development of the calf.
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Cows produce milk from feed and water only. Therefore feed in proper quantity and quality is usually the limiting factor governing a cow's production up to the limit of her capacity.
Better Sires -- Better Stock: Build Better By Breeding, H. P. Davis
Better Sires -- Better Stock: Build Better By Breeding, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Economy and logic indicate that the most satisfactory method of obtaining higher-yielding dairy cattle is to breed them. Nebraska raises the feeds - corn, oats and alfalfa - that will grow dairy cattle and can raise them as cheaply as any region. The method is simple. Use purebred dairy sires on the present cows. By the use of good purebred dairy sires great improvement can be obtained in a single generation.

The real worth of a sire for the dairy herd can be established only when production records of the progeny are available for comparison with those of the preceding generation. A study of the following three sires which have been in service in the University of Nebraska dairy herd should be of interest to the Nebraska dairyman wishing to improve his own herd. This experiment indicates that the apparently high cost of a good herd sire is more than outweighed by the increase in the value of the progeny.
