Feed costs for heifers vary with age but we will use $2 per head per day to feed on the average for all the young stock. This gives us a total cost per day for feed for all of our animals of $800 per day. If the cows are milking an average of 80 pounds per day, they are producing 6400 pounds of milk per day or 64 cwt. This gives a feed cost of $12.50 per cwt of milk produced.
