Product description:
You brought her home, and now she's standing there looking at you at five in the morning, and you're holding a scoop wondering if it's too much or not nearly enough.
Everybody tells you something different. A coffee can of grain. A flake of hay. Free choice. Whatever the last guy fed her. Meanwhile she's either getting thin or getting fat, the milk is doing something you can't explain, and nobody will just give you a number.
This gives you the number.
Answer five plain questions — her breed, roughly what she weighs, how much milk she's giving, her butterfat, where she is in her year, and an honest look at the hay in your barn. That's it. In about thirty seconds you'll have her feed plan for today: pounds of hay, pounds of grain, minerals, salt, and how much water she needs to keep that milk coming.
Print it and tape it to the barn wall. Whoever does chores can follow it.
It knows the difference between your cow and a cow. A Jersey milking hard on stemmy January hay does not eat like a dry cow on May pasture. Tell it what you actually have and the numbers move.
It'll stop you before you hurt her. Push the grain too high and it says so, plainly — that's how good cows end up with acidosis, and the fix is usually better hay, not another scoop. Just calved? It walks you through easing her up instead of dumping it on her. Drying off? It'll tell you she mostly doesn't need grain at all.
It's real dairy nutrition, not a rule of thumb. The same intake and energy math a nutritionist runs for a commercial herd, sized down for the one cow in your backyard, from a farm in upstate South Carolina where the Jerseys get milked every morning.
Works on your phone in the barn. Downloads instantly, runs without internet, and nothing you type goes anywhere but your own screen.
Educational information only — not veterinary advice. Make feed changes gradually over 7 to 10 days and call your vet for anything unusual.
