*Means followed by the same letter are not statistically different (Tukey’s HSD).

** Expected milk yield is calculated by multiplying the dry matter yield by the calculated milk lbs/ton. Calculated milk lbs/ton is a projection of potential milk yield per ton of forage dry matter, based on forage digestibility and energy content.
