Recorded
Two cows in the herd of Roy H
and Ruth H. Book, Ronks, have
been listed in an official
production testing report
released by the Holstem-Friesian
Association of America. Included
with the pounds of milk and
butterfat are the amounts of
solids-not-fat (SNF) produced by
each Registered Holstein since
last calving
The animals and their actual
production levels are;
Roaring Maples Ivanhoe Betty
5782892, seven-years-old, 23,760
pounds milk, 804 pounds butterfat
and 1,956 pounds solids-not-fat in
342 days; Roaring Maples Pilot

The Holstein Association’s
testing program has provided for
determining SNF nutrients

that contains protein, lactose,
minerals and other elements so
important to the nutrition and
taste of milk.
Total nutrient testing as

consumer demands. It provides
the Holstein breeder with in

overall performance of his herd,
and the homemaker can use it as
a measure of milk’s food value
