Service reports made at the
last board meeting indicated that
Safemark inventories are now
back to normal despite a $45,000
loss in the recent flood. The flood
damage was not related to recent
price increases on most tires and
batteries. These increases had
been pre-scheduled for July 1
(tires) and August 1 (batteries).
FMBAS accountants still have
flood damage forms for any who
suffered loss. The accountants
report they have forms for any
member and will assist par
ticipating members in filing
reports.

C.A.F. The Cow Acceptability Factor
determines how much grain your cows
will eat. Beacon Golden Test milking rations
are partially pelleted, contain a proven level
of crimped corn for extra palatability. Even
finicky eaters clean these feeds up well, re
