With schools not all opening up fully, and restrictions tightening up in some cases on restaurants, milk consumption & prices probably not up soon. Families with no lactose-intolerant children should all drink 3 glasses whole milk per day (best food in the store). Except they buy many sugary drinks. Ask checkoff people how they’re helping to raise farm milk prices? Cull heavy. Immu-Pro: Because results matter. All lives & preborn lives matter. V O T E N O V E M B E R 3 r d MADE IN

“... good news for the rest of her lactation!” — Bryce Windecker

WINDEX FARM, FRANKFORT, NEW YORK Dale, Deb, Bryce and Kayla Windecker 100 Registered Holstein cows BAA 107.6, 7 EX, 47 VG, 28 GP 65 lbs/cow/day, SCC 110,000 Certified Organic grazing herd Photos: Bryce, Deb and Dale Windecker with hay equipment. Bryce at 2019 Big E with his bred-and-owned show cow from a top cow family Windex Fremont Dandy EX94. She was nominated Jr. All-American 5-year-old.

“If you can get a cow rolling along when she freshens, it’s good news for the rest of her lactation. That’s why we use Udder Comfort™ on every fresh cow, especially heifers, 2x/day for 5 days after calving,” says Bryce Windecker, cowman in charge of the breeding program at Windex Farm, Frankfort, N.Y. He transfers to Cornell this fall. Bryce explains how his family has used Udder Comfort for 10 years, since before being certified organic in 2017: “This product is better than anything else. It’s real prevention. We use the yellow sprayable Udder Comfort and we like to cover the udder on a fresh animal.

“This gets swelling out fast. That’s better for their comfort level and udder quality as a whole, to keep SCC low.” Quality Udders Make Quality Milk

For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.
