• Average Milk Production UP 3,491 lbs. per cow
% A\erage Butterfat Production UP 139 lbs. per cow
• Average Income Over Feed Cost UP $lB2 per cow
• Herd Production UP from 126,264 lbs. to 588,546 lbs.
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.
