One problem Bill does en
counter occasionally Is foot
rot. He believes in having a
good working relationship
with his veterinarian. Advice
is followed religiously, as are
directions on any medication
he may give on his own.
As with a dairy herd, a
program to “weed out the
bad cows” exists on a beef
farm. Some culling factors
cited by Bill, the coach of two
state-winning Chester
County livestock judging
teams, (1967, 1972), are:
reproductive efficiency;
evaluation of offspring; and
milking ability - feeding the
calf to a heavy weaning
weight. Being firmly con
vinced that “there is no
money in cattle that won’t
reproduce”, he enforces his
culling practices very
strictly.
Com, oats, barley, alfalfa,
clover-timothy, and timothy
bromegrass are the crops
grown on 350 of the 650 acre
farm. Two-hundred-twenty
five acres are in pasture and

the balance la woodland. Bill
has all of the land contoured
and stripped, and uses soil
tests and crop rotation in his
land management program.
During the summer he hires
extra help to bring in the
crops, all of which can be
stored on the place, and
much of it is sold at optimum
prices later in the year.
Concerning hired help, Bill
mentions: “I was hired as a
working farm manager...!
don’t ask anyone to do what I
wouldn’t be willing to do
myself...! enjoy working
with youths.”
Sharing his love for far
ming, the outdoors, and
cattle, is Bill’s wife, the
former Patricia Knight. She
enjoys playing the piano,
sewing and participating in
numerous 4-H and church
activities. Their children,
John 12, and Rachel, 10, are
active in 4-H and enjoy
showing some of the beef
animals. Both have shown
grand champion animals at
such events as the Penn
sylvania State Farm Show
and the Keystone In
ternational Exposition.
Scores of ribbons and
trophies decorate one comer
of the Holloway kitchen. All
of them were won by the
children during the past
year.
Bill and his wife are still
very active members of the
4-H organization. Bill is a
recipient of the 1972 4-H
alumni award, and is a
Maryland 4-H all star
member. Among many
others, he has won awards
for leadership and livestock
judging. Recognition of his
talents and achievements
has even spread to colleges
such as West Chester State
and Delaware Valley.
Classes from these schools
visit occasionally to study
geography, conservation,
ranching and beef cattle.
The Holloways believe
farmers should take an
active 4 part in urban
development in order to
create a better un

Paul’s Corner
The other day I heard
two fellows talking
about how successful a
friend of theirs had
been. A big new house,
two new cars in the
garage and money in
the bank. It’s a sad but
true fact that in today’s
society we tend to
measure a person’s
success by how much
wealth they have ac
cumulated. At Lan
caster Ford we believe
success goes far beyond
attaining wealth. True,
we expect a fair return
on our investment but
we also feel a great
responsibility to be
honest and trustworthy
in our dealings, to be
reliable in the work we
perform and to treat
everyone the way we
would like to be treated.
It is our desire that the
relationships we
develop will result in
long lasting friendships
that go far beyond the
normal business
customer relations. We
firmly believe that all
our rewards in life will
be in direct relation to
our service. We hope
you will take the time to
stop and say hello and
meet all The Friendly
People at Lancaster
Ford.
