> several clients who own dairy farms, and these people insist that dairy cows must be fed some grain in order to produce high quality milk. Not having any experience in this area, I have nothing to say in response.<
Most modern high yield milkers need some food/mineral supplements, normally fed at milking time. Older breeds that only produce half the milk can get by on natural food but still may need mineral supplements depending on the ground the grass/fodder is grown on. Wild cattle only produce enough milk for one or two calves. Chris. Wessex Ferret Club (http://www.wessexferretclub.co.uk) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
