Select The Best Dairy Bulls
In theory, genetic improve
•unent in milk yield could equal
2 percent of the average produc
tion per cow per yeai. This is
about 250 pounds of milk and 10
■pounds of milk fat per year In
if act, Pennsylvania herds aie
averaging about one-half of this
potential annually
One of the major reasons we
fall short of the maximum
.potential is that the bulls that
sire 'the future herd sires are not
■always picked on their ability
-•to improve production Yet
ichoosing the best production
bulls to sire the next generation
of young sires is the single big
gest factor for genetic improve
■tnent.
Recent USDA studies checked
HLe performance of 19,000 sire
son pairs in the five major dairy
■breeds The Predicted Differ
'd! ce (PD) values for milk and
fat for the sires was correlated
■with the comparable data on
'their sons. This information and
other studies have shown that
high PD bulls sire a higher per
centage of sons with high PD’s.
Most dair> geneticists agree that
■using bulls with PD’s for milk
of plus 500 lb or more to sire
-future bulls is a realistic stand
ard
Some dairymen pick herd bulls
on the dam’s production record
■While this is a step above ran
dom choice, selection pressure
•on sires is the best route towards
developing future top sires that
will generate greater production
and income
New License Plates
Pennsylvania motorists will
soon be receiving their first
new license plate m six years
Edward A Hitchin, the Penn
sylvania Department of Trans
portation’s Deputy Secretary
for Safety Administration, an
nounced that mailing of applica
tions for 1971 registration of
approximately five million pas-!
isenger cars, station wagons,'
motorcycles, farm and Indus-'
trial tractors by the Bureau of
iMotor Vehicles got underway
January 20.
The attractive new aluminum
plates, inscribed with the word,
'“Pennsylvania ” carries the slo
gan, “Bicentennial State ’76,” at
the bottom The Liberty Bell i£
Jeatured in the center of the
plate, separating the letters and
numbers.
The Bureau will begin issu
ing the new plates as soon as
'the applications are returned,
accompanied by the appropriate
fee and compliance with a few
simple instructions
Nevin I. Benner, Director of
the Bureau, who had some ad
vice to owners of vehicles in
those categoues for which the
new plates will be issued to
avoid delay, called attention to
the fact that the 1970 registrar
ttion-for these vehicles will ex!-
J)ire at midnight, March 31. If
will be permissible to attach
the new plate after March 15.
