Grows big, healthy calves
Calves really "feel their oats” when you feed
them vitamin-rich Ful-O-Pep Calf Ration. It’s whole
some oat-based feed . . . and oats are famous for
building healthy bodies and strong bones. Calves
love it. For best results, feed Ful-O-Pep Calf Ration
with new Ful-O-Pep Calf Sup at 3 to 6 days
of age. Your calves will grow fit and frisky.

Hillmac Sovereig
Dies; Top Sire in
Service at SPABC
Breedeis of Holstein cows in
Southeastern Penna and Dela
waie experienced a disappointing
loss when the Gold Medal Hol
stein sue, Hillmac Sovereign,
died on Sept 11 accoidmg to an
announcement made by David
Yoder, Manager of the South
eastern Penna Aitificial Breed
ing Cooperative A condition of
arthritis that has become prog
'ressingly woise during the past
two years finally pioved fatal,
Yoder said.
Hillmac Sovereign at six
years of age was purchased
by the Cooperative from Da
vid J. Roberts, Sauquoit, N.Y.
for $lO,OOO in July 1951. Dur
ing his stay at S.P.A.B.C. he
was mated to 66,070 cows, a
figure unchallenged by any
sire East of the Mississippi
River. Resulting from this
high number of services he
has now more registered prog
eny than any other bull in the
nation, a record once held by
his late stablemate, Lauxmont
Admiral Lucifer, who died in
January of this year.
Yoder explained that services
to Sovereign were not termin
ated by his death The Coopera
tive has 3.033 vials of fiozen se
men in storage which will be
available to SPA B C. members
