[50 points]SituationHigh Water Inc, owners of New River Crest Dairy, produces Grade A milk from 554 head comprised of two breeds, 531 Holstein (150 registered) and 23 Jersey (20 registered) cows. Their bulk tank average daily milk yield is 74 pounds (Holstein) and 54 pounds (Jersey) per cow. They have a daughter who plans to return to the dairy after college and currently has ownership of the Jersey cowherd and some heifers. The family has a long-standing reputation of purebred genetics and place a high priority on milk quality. Their creamery, High River Dike Creamery is a cooperative that offers incentives for quality and production. The family’s goal is to keep components above 3.3% protein and fat at least 3.9%, maintain a reputation for good cows and make fiscally sound business decisions during times of low milk prices. Their current milk components and quality tests are:

$ Milk protein - 3.37%$ Milk fat - 4.01%$ Other solids - 5.68%$ Somatic Cell Count - 330,000

To complete this exercise you will need the following information.Parameters for Determining Milk ValueThe processor uses the following Class III prices to set procurement policy that determines the pay price and any premiums:

1. Protein differential (3.04% base) = $2.20/cwt per 0.1% protein2. Butterfat differential (3.5% base) = $1.16/cwt per 0.1% milk fat3. Other solids (OS) premium (5.65% base) = - $0.03/cwt per 0.1% OS4. Somatic cell count base = 350,000 cells per mil.5. For any premium - bacteria plate count must average less than 25,000 for the entire month
