The award is based on the
production of a bull’s regis
tered daughters on official tests
as compared with that of their
dams and with the production
level of the entire Holstein
breed.
At least 10 pairs of daugh
ters and dams must figure in
the comparisons with the
daughters having a total of at
least 15 official production rec
ords in the Advanced Registry,
Herd Improvement Registry,
or Dairy Herd Improvement
Registry testing program.
• NEPPCO
(Continued from Page 1)
question and answer session
during which poultrymen in
the audience will be able to
examine points made by the
panelists.
Phase feeding is relatively
new and' often misunderstood,
the experts note. Although its
proponents claim that it can
be a major aid in increasing
production and maintaining
health, they caution that an
improperly used phase feeding
program can prove costly and
may even result n lower pro
duction.
Because phase feeding is
complicated and can even be
difficult for those unfamiliar
with the program, it is ex
pected that this segment of
the NEPPCO Exposition will
be among the most popular
with poultrymen expected to
attend from all sections of the
Instate NEPPCOI and area.

Solve RUST PROBLEM
Modern science has caused
iron rust to become less of a
problem in our water supplies.

cultural engineer at The Penn

These well-finished steers are part of the 132 steers which Elam 2. and
Noah W. Wenger, R. D. 1, Stevens, Pennsylvania finished out to a 1222-pound
average. Twenty-two of the top steers were marketed at the local auction at
$27 53 average, top steer scaled at 1365 pounds and brought $28.50. The remain
ing 110 steers were sold to a packing company and yielded 64 03% cold dress
ed. These steers dressed slightly higher than the previous lot Wenger finished out,
which dressed out at 63.15%. ' -
Wenger contributes the quality finish of his steers to the HARVESTORE
processed Alfalfa Haylage and Dry Corn Silage or Cornlage. When Alfalfa Hay*
lage was fed, no additional protein supplement, was fed; however, when Corn
lage was fed, limited amounts of protein supplement were added but never, more
than two pounds per steer per day. Because of the high nutritive value of the
HARVESTORE processed Cornlage and Haylage, Wenger’s average daily gains
were better than two pounds per day on the 548-pound steers. The majority of
Wenger’s feed was processed through his 20’ x 60’ HARVESTORE. HARVESTORE
processing gave him a return- of 740 pounds of beef per acre. Adv. *
