... unsurpassed ... ounce of prevention worth pound of cure.
I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so I have used Udder Comfort consistently for 10 years, says Conrad Kvamme of Arlington, Minn. In addition to his own Orbit Farms herd of 40 Holsteins, Conrad sees how other herds benefi t from this shared commitment to quality udders making quality milk.
As the consultant/coordinator of the Midwest Dairy Beef Quality Assurance Center, Conrad sees the positive impact of quality assurance on a farms bottom line. He was recognized in December with the 2014 Industry Service Award.
Udder Comfort works naturally with the cow to get swelling down, so her own defenses can take over. Its wonderful for fresh cows and heifers when they udder-up. It stops edema and improves blood fl ow, which is essential year-round, especially in winter.
Dairy cows provide for us, and they create economic value from start to fi nish. Any animal that produces all of this for us must be kept in good form and quality.
Working in quality assurance for all of these years, I know a good thing when I see it. Udder Comfort is a good thing, and I appreciate its unsurpassed quality and effectiveness.
Conrad Kvamme
For external application to the udder only after milking, as an essential component of udder management. Always wash and dry teats thoroughly before milking.
