"We watched our cows real closely on the computer when we started using POSILAC last spring. We saw an 8-10 pound response right away. But, we figured we'd see a real drop once the heat and humidity hit.

"We looked. We looked again And every two weeks after that we kept looking some more. Every time we went over our records the cows on POSILAC were still milking as good as they were before."

Nancy and Mick German own Hy-Mic Dairy, a 250 cow operation in Cushing, Oklahoma.

"Usually we have a slump during the heat. You expect them to drop at least 5 or 6 pounds. With POSILAC the cows held real solid right through the summer.

"The cows on POSILAC seemed to eat more. Our nutritionist couldn't believe how much dry matter we were getting through the cows. With the feeding program he helped us put in place we had no problem with body condition. The cows bred back and stayed healthy.

"Making milk during the summer is tough. Making money is even tougher. If POSILAC wasn't profitable, we wouldn't be using it. For us, anything over 5 pounds is profit."
