Utilize Your DHIA Records
Get youi full money’s worth
out of your DHIA dollar 1
Many dairymen are guilty ol
not using the vast amount of in
formation they receive monthly
on their DHIA reports They
seem to consider production test
ing a routine expense with no
return
695

Nothing could be further from
the truth Your monthly report
could be the most important
thing you receive in the mail,
next to your milk check
The management information
alone is worth the cost of testing
if you take advantage of the
available 'information With
hired labor, pipelines, milking
parlors and larger cow numbers,
it’s difficult to “eyeball” produc
tion with any degree of accuracy.
A short time spent each month
going over your monthly report
will bring you up to date as to
your current herd and individual
cow status Culling one animal or
breeding one additional good
cow on time could well pay for
the testing.

The other valuable benefit
from testing is the documenta
tion of production date for future
breeding use. It is extremely
surprising how many new cows
are added each year with incom
plete identification. With im
proper indentification the data is
lost to future generations
At first ,it is easy to blame this
lack of information on the super
visor, but, how can the super
visor fill in the information'll it
is not supplied by the farmer?
It is the breeder who is to bene
fit from the information, so he
should be interested in supplying
all correct and necessary infor
mation.

So reap the profits from your
investment and utilize your
DHIA records. At the same
time do your part for tomorrow
and be sure all identification in
formation -is complete and ac
curate.

Do You Participate?
665
We are fortunate here in
Southeastern Pennsylvania to
have some of the best dairy cat
tle in the country right here at
home and within easy driving
distance in neighboring states.
We not only have many out
standing animals and herds, but
these great animals are brought
together in some of the most im
pressive dairy shows in the coun
try.
665
647
664
663

Do you as an individual dairy
man take full advantage of these
gieat opportunities? With this
great concentration of good dairy
cattle, the average breeder can
observe firsthand the results of
v/ell established and proven
breeding programs and manage
ment systems.
660

646
658
656
As any breeder and manager
knows, the old saying of “a pic
ture is worth a thousand words”
is very fitting when dealing with
cattle. The one-to-one exchange
possible when visiting' either at
a home herd or at a show is
priceless.
656
655
655
651
648
655
Be a good listener and observer
when visiting. Let your host tell
his story. Even if you don’t fully
agree with what he says, you will
probably still go away with a
new idea or a different outlook
on things. Be courteous, but
don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Dairy shows at any level are a
gxeat opportunity to observe and
learn. Even though you aren’t an
exhibitor, be interested and ac
tive in your local shows. You
