Thai’s a brief summary of the achievements of Mr. Henry E Kettering of R. D. 3, Lititz, -Pa and his herd of purebred Holsteins. This Lancaster County dairyman first began feeding Beacon Feeds in 1951. Beacon has been his only commercial ration since that time. It is not easy to give consistent attention to management while increasing herd size 3 times. But this Mr Kettering has done and he’s been rewarded with an average increase in mifk production per covr of 3.491 lbs Income over feed cost went from 259 per cow in 1952 up to 441 in 1961. The herd which produced 126,264 lbs of milk in 1951, increas ed in milk production to 588,546 lbs. in 1961.-f The herd size increased times but milk production increased 4-% times in this period. That’s real progress for this dairyman and for his' herd. We are pleased that Mr. Kettering has made Beacon Feeds part of his pro gram through these years. Yes, they’ve been 12 >ears of progress, of feeding satisfaction and success. We’d welcome a chance to'offer this same satisfaction to >ou.
