Your herd's calving pattern is one of the most important factors affecting milksolids production on your farm. A concentrated calving pattern can increase production for the season by up to 3500 kg milksolids in a 200 cow herd.
This is because a concentrated calving pattern increases the number of days in milk before Christmas. For every extra day in milk before Christmas, production per cow over the whole season is increased by 1.2 to 1.8 kg milksolids.
