Figuring Rations

Every morning the farm has to mix the feed wagon with the correct rations based on recommendations from their nutritionist. The ration is made up of a combination of corn silage, hay silage, cotton seed and grain. At Riverside Farm the nutritionist currently recommends a ration/ milking cow of 70 lbs. corn, 25 lbs. Hay Silage, 4 lbs. Cottonseed and 23lbs. grain.
Riverside Farm milks approximately 400 cows.
