Compaung the leuistulion
paper of a d.iny cow to a stock
or bond certificate, the Beiks
County dairyman said, "It is
the best on the market,’’ and he
gave illustrations where for the
investment of the S 2 50 regis
tering fee. a great return could
be obtained “We don’t know
whit value the certificate may
have when you go to sell an
animal. Surplus animals are the
real pay-off in the Registered
Holstein business,” he said
“Some people have grain or
vegetable as a cash crop but
we always like our cash crop to
have four legs.”
“I don’t think it would be fair
to tell a young person it does
not pay to register Holstems,”
Ruth concluded. “If you can on
ly build one good herd in a life
time it is worth it.”
In other business Earl Stauf
fer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clar
ence Stauffer was awarded the
Lancaster County Holstein
Breeder’s Distinguished Junior
Member plaque for outstanding
youth activities. Earl will com
pete with other County finalists
on the State level in the near
future.
Amos Sauder, Manheim,
thanked the membeis for pre
senting him with a Registered
Calf at the Lampeter Fan
earlier this fall and icported the
calf doing well. The cow is from
the herd of J Eby Hershey, Gor
donville Rl, out of a cow with
four records of over 20,000
pounds of milk and 800 pounds
of butterfat.
