Abstract
The possibility of applying price differentials to the protein or the solids-not-fat portions of milk has been promoted with varying degrees of support for several years. Multiple component pricing may some day become a reality over a large portion of the United States, but how soon this will happen depends a great deal on the attitude of milk producers toward any particular pricing alternative that may be proposed. Lower levels of butterfat are associated with lower levels of both protein and solids-not-fat, so we might expect owners of Holstein herds to be skeptical of payment plans which would include differentials in addition to fat. Owners of Jersey herds, on the other hand, would be expected to look upon such plans with favor. Since
