“Comfort matters. For 7 years, we have used Udder Comfort™ because it gets fresh cows off to a great start with quality udders and low-SCC. Cows that start clean tend to stay clean throughout the lactation. That’s why we spray every fresh udder 2x/day for 3 to 7 days after calving and see their SCCs come down much faster,” says Mitch Breunig, Mystic Valley Dairy, Sauk City, Wisconsin, home of Jenny-Lou Holsteins, founded by his parents Jeanette and Louis. From balanced breeding and their focus on longevity came the legacy of Toystory. Today, this 480-cow freestall herd has more than 60 cows past 150,000M lifetime. The herd has a BAA of 105.8 and makes 100 lbs/cow/day with records to 55,000M.
