brought by “SHF Sir Royal Sam 13th”, consigned by Stone
Hollow Farm, DavidsviUe. “Sam” is a full brother to another
bull from his Somerset County farm that earlier this year
was named national grand champion of the Charolais breed.
With only six head represented in the sale, another exotic
beef breed - Simmental - had the highest breed average,
$1,442. The 20 Charolais averaged $1,372 per head while 18
Angus produced an average price of $1,154. Other breeds
represented in the sale included Chianina, Hereford, Polled
Hereford, Red Angus and Shorthorn.
Performance testing of beef bulls is a departure from the
previous method used at the center, progeny testing. In the
latter, a bull was evaluated by checking the finished carcass
of his steer offspring. Working on the theory that given the
same type of production ration, a bull will have the same
weight gaining characteristics and body conformation as his
sons, a potential herd sire can be evaluated at least two years
sooner with the performance-testing scheme.
The Meat Animal Evaluation Center is operated by the
Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture at PSU working in
close co-ordination with the College of Agriculture, Penn
sylvania Cattlemen’s Association, state breed
associations and other facets of the Commonwealth’s
livestock industry.

trough. And she'd have a legitimate beef if it's because of a
faulty water system, because you could have bought dependable
Agway equipment to begin with. Then you would ALWAYS have
water when she needs it
But it’s not too late We can offer you a pump tailor-made
for your system, or a system tailor-made for your needs . . .
both of them backed, of course, by Agway’s 40 years of ex
perience in selling newer, better water systems

hoof it on down to see us We won’t give you a bum steer!
