New Holland • Cow Numbers (Continued fi’om Page 1) what better in Lancaster County than in the state as a whole. The latest June survey shows we lost about 700 cows since the first of the year, and about 1400 since the first of last year. That represents approxi mately a two percent reduc tion in county cow numbers between January 1, 1965 and June, 1966. The reporting sendee said that pnor to 1964, reduction of cow numbers was more titan offset by increased pro duction per cow Since that time, however, this no longer holds ti ue, despite the fact that individual cow production continues its annual increase. Total milk production in the •state during the first sax months of this year was down •about 15 percent from the same period last year The survey also showed that the number of commercial herds in the state was con tinuing its downward trend. In 1950, there were 51,400 commercial herds; in 1955, 45,- 700, in 1960, 36,300; and at the beginning of 1966, 25,000 herds The number estimated for June, 1966 was 23,500. It seems apparent from these figures that another trend, that of increasing herd size, is also still very much, in evidence Dairymen in Lan caster County, and in the state, continue to add cows to their herds. A major factor contributing to the overall declane in cow farms in Pennsylvania, said ithe reporting service, has been the sustained drought condi tion, now stretching into the fifth year. Also, the incentive to dispose of uneconomic maSk cows due to favorable beef prices continues. Add to these factors the problems of labor shortages and low milk prices, and you’ve pretty well covered the reasons accounting for declining cow numbers, the Crop Reporting Service concluded. 9
