“... reduces the potential for frozen teats.” — Todd Hendrickson
ROADSIDE DAIRY — THE HENDRICKSON FAMILY PRESTON, MINNESOTA: 160 cows — 85 lbs/cow/day — BAA 107 — 6 EX and 25 VG SCC average 70,000 — Lowest SCC in Fillmore County for 6 consecutive years “I like Udder Comfort™ all year ‘round, and especially in our Upper Midwest winters. It reduces the potential for frozen teats. It’s more effective than any other product I’ve tried, so it remains a big part of our herd health for over 6 years.” says Todd Hendrickson. He and Sue operate Roadside Dairy, home to 160 cows near Preston, Minnesota. Aside from running his farm with the help of key employees Nashia Soland, UW River Falls pre-vet student, and Pete Schell, graduate of NE Iowa Community College, Todd serves on the board of the NE Iowa Dairy Foundation. “We use Udder Comfort for fresh cows, hard quarters and mastitis, and we also use it on all of the udders when cows leave the parlor to reduce swelling and improve circulation during any stretch of frigid cold in the winter.” Hendrickson was one of the first in the U.S. to use Udder Comfort, and it’s an even bigger part of his routines today.
“Producing a high quality product and seeing the progression of cow families from one generation to the next, that’s what it’s all about,” says Todd. “Fresh cows always get Udder Comfort applied 2x/day for 5 days, or longer, to help them come into milk faster by removing swelling so they milk out better. They recover faster, and this routine has helped us progressively lower our herd’s SCC average to 70,000.”
Quality Udders Make Quality Milk
Keep the milk in the system 1.888.773.7153 1.613.652.9086 uddercomfort.com Call to locate a distributor near you. For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.
