Top DHIA Herd Has
Just “Ordinary” Cows
Stanley G. Greiner, owner of
Mount Hope Tiew Farm at
Manheim R 4, describes his
herd as “just ordinary cows
that don't get babied.” But
this herd of “just ordinary
cows” had the high butterfat
average in the Red Rose Dairy
Herd Improvement Association
during April end was 10th in
the county during the 19(53
testing year.
Greiner said this week he be
lieves the records are the re
sult of two things: plenty of
silage fed about 11 months of
the year, and giving young
cows a chance to prove them
selves.
“1 have only ever beefed one
first-calf heifer for low produc
tion,” he said, and added that
many of his cows make good
records in later lactations.
He pointed out several cows
sired by Southeastern Pennsyl
vania Artificial Breeding Co
operative’s Lucifer Star which
were disappointing during
their first year of production
but got better every year.
His herd, all home bred, has
a large proportion of Lucifer
and Lucifer Star daughters.

Dairy Month
Celebration
Secretary of Agriculture Or
ville L. Freeman today urged
consumers and the food indus
try to join in the 28th - anni
versary of “June is Dairy
Month,” to be celebrated by
the dairy industry this month
when milk and its many prod
ucts reach peak production.
“The month of June is a
particularly good time to pay
tribute to the Nation’s dairy
men for their contribution to
the abundant food supply we
all enjoy every month of the
year,” the Secretary said.
“Milk and dairy products
play a vital role in the health
and well-being of all Ameri

Ivanhoe daughters.
One Ivanhoe daughter win
goes by the barn name o t
“Liza” made more milk as a
first calf heifer than any other
heifer Greiner ever raised.
Liza made 694 pounds of but'
terfat in 17,460 pounds of milk
during her first 305 days. Now,
in the second month of her see*
ond lactation, she has made as
much as 96 pounds of milk
per day.
Greiner said Liza was born,
on pasture and lost her navel
cord on the way to the barn.
An attempt to stop the bleed
ing resulted in an infected nav
el which the veterinarian said
would toe fatal. However, he
gave her an injection and the
call began to grow. She is now
one of the outstanding cows
in the 23 cow milking string,
but she was not the top record
producer last year.
A four year old Holstein
with the unlikely name “Wim

the cooperative, he said.
The cooperative, organized
two years ago to assist growers
in stabilizing the market for
Pennsylvania Seedleaf cigar
filler tobacco, sold its entire
holding of 1962-crop wrappers
in April.
The bulk of the two million
pounds of the crop was bought
by one major cigar manufactur
ing company.
The 1962-crop filler and pull
off grades, for which the co
operative advanced members 14
and 15 cents a pound, were
sold last spring and final set
tlement checks were issued
last February.
The top grade of 1962 wrap
per tobacco (C 2), on which the
co-op advanced 19 cents a
pound at the time it was re
ceived, averaged 33% cents a
pound from its resale.
