Anyway here goes .
Green Pastures Dairy Program is really working. More
and more dairymen are choosing Miller & Bushong as their sup
plier of complete feed or concentrate. The Dairy Department'
keeps showing real growth, for which we are grateful.
Yesterday we made a service call on Clyde Beaver's lay
ing flock. These birds are in the 1 Ith month of production, and
still producing eggs at less than four pounds per dozen of eggs.
One of the laying flocks we service is raising 30,000 re
placements in Pennsylvania 5,000 on the floor and 25,000 in
cages. These birds are about 14 weeks old now. Mortality is
running two to three birds per day. Management, isolation, and
sanitation is superb. Let's hope we can find some solutions to
getting better birds raised closer to home.
