House Maturing
Pullets Together
House early-matunng pullets
together in the same pens, ad
vises Assistant County Agent
Frank E Bortz, for when only
laying pullets are housed, egg
production increases rapidly. A
feeding system that is right for
one pullet is right for all. Pullets
starting to lay are aggressive.
They need extra feed and they
will find a way to get it. Such
pullets get along well together
and make a practical pen to care
for
Bortz says poultrymen still
housing pullets _on the basis of
age, including some immature
birds, with those already laying,
find that the immature pullets
are driven away from both feed
and water They spend a great
oeal of time on the roosts and
probably take twice as long to
get into production, as they would
have if left on range where they
would have more opportunity.
Forty-nine choice Herefords
sold for $35.12; 94 choice Angus
bruoght $34 50; 74 good Angus
brought $32.74; 30 good Here
fords, $36.31. and $26 33 was paid
for 61 heifers of all types.
Lancaster Union Stock Yards
and Penna Livestock and Allied
Industries Association were co
sponsors of the sale, which is one
of a yearly senes co-sponsored by
the state association.
William Bixler, sales manager,
termed this year’s event the best
oi the four held so far.
