Abstract

The individual dairy producer's goal is to produce milk efficiently. Producers attempt to maximize profit by reducing their feed costs and increasing their revenue. Average cost of feeding a cow varies greatly between individual farms, as does revenue. This initial study sought to identify variables associated with revenue, feed costs and the return over feed costs.
