Cattle Rations
This
exercise is quite a marathon for the beginner, but anyone familiar with
dairy rations “the hard way” will readily take to it. One dairy farmer I
worked with, who had never used a computer before, managed to complete
this exercise after just 3 lessons. Anyone interested in cattle
rationing will find it a useful exercise, and one which is practically
workable on a farm, but you might find it beneficial to get the Feed
into Milk CD ROM from the Milk Development Council.
