New Mexico
at the HIGHEST possible cost ration ( practical or not..I do NOT care, simply deducing highest POSSIBLE converted cost )
Corporate expansion in dairy ( and all other industries also ) operate off of HIGHEST possible converted costs.
That is how they PAY people. That simple.
That was say 40 lbs of corn per cow per day at $6.72 per bu corn ie., 12 cents per lb as fed.
Your a dairy guy...figure your own ration for your area as per optimum prod / cost.
( I have NO idea the ingredients available in your area ...but you do ).
