Breed choice depends on what you are farming for: milk volume, butterfat, or an animal that handles rough grazing without fuss. Jersey and Jersey-cross cows tend to do well on organic pasture systems because they convert grass efficiently and calve with fewer problems than larger frame breeds.<\/p>

Talk to other organic farmers nearby before you commit, since local conditions matter more than any breed pamphlet.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Matching breed to your farm<\/h2>

Small-frame breeds often suit organic systems better than high-output dairy breeds built for grain-heavy diets. Look at udder health and fertility records<\/a>, not just milk yield, when you pick breeding stock. Ask about temperament too, since a calm herd is easier to manage on pasture. The right breed for your neighbour is not always the right breed for you.<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

More refined results<\/h2>

You made all the required mock ups for\u00a0commissioned layout, got all the approvals<\/a>, built a tested code base or had them built, you decided on a content management system, got a license for it or adapted open source software for your client\u2019s needs. Then the question arises: where\u2019s the content? Not there yet?\u00a0That\u2019s not so bad, there\u2019s dummy copy to the rescue.<\/strong>\u00a0But worse, what if the fish doesn\u2019t fit in the can, the foot\u2019s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons the folks in the meeting can\u2019t quite tell right now, but they\u2019re unhappy, somehow. A client that\u2019s unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that\u2019s unhappy though he or her can\u2019t quite put a finger on it is worse.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
