Spring is just around the corner!!??!!

• It’s not too early to start thinking about next year’s seedings • Common nurse crops like spring triticale and forage oats will be in short supply due to the huge 2012 fall plantings • 2 to 3#’s of Perun or Lofa Festulolium or Green Spirit Italian Ryegrass can be your nurse crop.

• Byron’s Premium Hay(lage) Blend Plus has the proper proportions of Tall Fescue and Festulolium when added to your alfalfa seedings at 8 to 10#’s per acre • This mix with 10 to 15#’s of Kingfisher Award winning alfalfas will provide to highest yield and quality • It’s also not too early to avoid shortages of Gene 6 bmr Alta Sorghum and Sudans!

“Thank you for saving our cow...”

— Les Olson

OLSON DAIRY, Les and Jo Olson and their children and grandchildren, Spring Valley, Minnesota Milking 275 cows — RHA 27,962 m 1154 f 900 p — SCC 165,000 Les Olson of Olson Dairy is pictured above with Diane Fjelstad of Fjel-Mar Dairy. The Olson family, Fjelstad family, along with Matt and Myriah Klug (not pictured) make up the Katrina Syndicate. Their three-year-old Brown Swiss Tierra Verde KL Katrina (above) was Reserve Intermediate Champion of the 2012 Minnesota State Fair and fourth place Senior Three at the 2012 World Dairy Expo, and was nominated All-American.

“We use Udder Comfort™ faithfully for our fresh cows. We also use it on any cow with mastitis or an elevated SCC. It is definitely the best product available,” says Les Olson, Olson Dairy, Spring Valley, Minnesota, home to a 275-cow mixed herd, which includes a Brown Swiss Genetic Honor herd.

A while back, the Olsons were frustrated by high SCC that would creep up over 400,000. Using a combined approach of DHIA testing, culturing, comforting and culling, they made “tremendous strides” to get counts down at 165,000.

“Udder Comfort is a big part of the process,” Olson explains. “We were even more convinced when our cow ‘Katrina’ came off the trailer at the Minnesota State Fair with a leaky, rock-hard right front quarter.

“There were samples of Udder Comfort yellow spray at the show parlor. We kept the quarter sprayed, and two days later she was the top three-year-old and Reserve Intermediate Champion Brown Swiss.

“All I can say is: Thank You Udder Comfort for saving our cow.”
