commercial beef cow herds, ac

associate professor of animal
science at The Pennsylvania
State University.
The records of most beef cow
herds will show that these tests
pay dividends, Dr. Wilson says.

You also need to keep lamp
cords from wood surfaces, Sul
fur in reconstituted or synthetic
rubber used in cords and lamp
bases affects the finish of the
wood. It may cause yellowing of
the finish where rubber comes
in contact.
Direct sunlight can also cause

cherry, are more susceptible to
color change than others. And
all woods will change color if
exposed to strong sunlight for
a long time.

$35.00. If all of the cows in a
herd have a calf .and raise it to
weaning age, the average win
tering feed cost is $35.00 per
calf.
However, if only 80 per cent
of the cows produce and wean
a calf, the wintering feed cost
per calf averages $43.75. The
latter herd would have $8.75
less net profit per calf because
of the low calving rate.

having a veterinarian test the
cow herd for pregnancy between
45 and 120 days after the last
cow is bred. Cows not pregnant
can be sold for slaughter.
Dr. Wilson reports that cross

show a higher fertility record
