			FOOTNOTES TO RIGHT									1	Enterprise budget includes the costs of a one cow lactation plus dry period as well as a replacement heifer.  Dairy cows are
														presumed to be in the herd for three years.  As a result, the dairy cow and replacement budgets include 0.38 of the feed
														requirements of raising a heifer.  Heifer raising costs and feed requirements are given in the heifer budgets.
												2	"Milk Sold" equals the average pounds sold per cow over a 12-month period.  It is about 95 percent of production as
														reported by the DHIA Rolling Herd Average.
												3	The milk price is stated as the gross per cwt price less promotion and government assessment.
												4	It is assumed that no income will be generated from bull calf sales.
												5	Heifer receipts are based on 11 percent cull rate.  Of the 11 percent, 6 percent are sold at birth and
														5 percent are sold at springing.  Heifer calf prices and springing heifer prices are shown below:
																-------------milk production-------------
																12,000	14,000	16,000		18,000
													Heifer Calf			$90	125	$135		$145
													Springing Heifer			$950	1150	$1,250		$1,350
												6	Cull cow receipts are based on a 33 percent cull rate, sale price at $30 per cwt, and culled animals weighing
														1,000 lbs.  Cull cow receipts equal 0.33 x $0.30/lb x 1,000 lb
												7	Feed costs are calculated assuming 10 percent and 3 percent losses for forages and other feeds, respectively. Values
														not in italics give requirement for the cow and replacement.  Values in italics are for the cow only.
														Corn silage priced at cost of production ($19.45/ton) + $5 handling charge.  Corn priced at cost of production.
														Costs of production can be found in the Ohio Crop Enterprise Budgets.  Feed additives were assumed to be fed
														to the two highest production levels and cost $0.45/lb.  Feed additives could consist of any combination
														of supplemental fat, special trace mineral supplements, direct-fed microbials, etc.
