Last year, 16,353 horses were auctioned at New Holland, compared to a combined total of 3,131 sold through Pennsylvania’s 43 other livestock auctions. New Holland last year also sold more total livestock than any of the other auctions, a total of 151,217 animals. Running a close second was the Vintage Sales Stable, Paradise, which sold 147,923 animals in 1971. Diffenbach attributes at least part of his company’s success to the fact that they’ve been doing “You bought ‘im for $300.. . what do you mean you were scratching your ear?” Part of the Monday mor ning ritual at the New Holland Sales Stables is to hitch up the trojtters and let ’em go. «e* Chops Fast and Fine-at Low Cost Per Ton The Model 720 FORAGER wakes high quality hayiage and silage chopped the way you want at a cost that II help your profits on your livestock /From multiple position hitch to adjustable deflector spout the 720 is designed for efficient, economical forage harvesting and fast changes from one crop to another 6' ptck up attachment handles heavy windrows with ease does a clean job in picking up green forage wilted hay, cured hay or stfaw Pick up fingers comb the stubble and feed material to the auger in a steady stream save more of the leaves Row-crop attachments match your row width guide stalks into chopper with three gathering chains per row Two row attachment adjusts for row spacmgs from 28 to 42 one row attachment har vests rows of any width Nissiey Farm Service Roy H.
