EVELYN MILLER
WINNER OF THE
1971 Grand Champion 4-H Baby Beef Show
Here’s What Evelyn Says:
“I was particularly pleased with the success I had with Wayne Feeds. It helped to make my 4-H Club Here
ford Calf a top winner in shows this year including being chosen the Grand Champion Baby Beef at the Pa.
Farm Show in January. He also won first prize at the Dauphin County Round Up and the Gratz Fair.
My Hereford calf weighed 550 lbs. and I paid 62 cents per pound for him when he was purchased on Novem
ber 20. 1969 at the Timonium, Maryland sale.
For the greater part of his feeding period my calf received a mixture of ground ear corn, ground oats, mo
lasses and salt, topped dressed each day with 2 lbs. WAYNE CATTLE BALANCER PELLETS. During the
last 60 days all that he received was whole oats topped dressed with 3 lbs. WAYNE CATTLE BALANCER
PELLETS each day.
My call developed a very fine finish and when he was sold as the Grand Champion Baby Beef of the 1971 Pa.
Farm Show he weighed 1180 lbs. and was purchased by the Whitford Sales Co., Exton, Pa. for $4.56 per lb.
or a total of $5380.00.
My total feed cost was $l3B 00 and needless to say I was very pleased with Wayne performance.’’
