State 740 Heifers Auctioned at Black & White Sales Barn Close to 400 buyers at tended what Parke Myers called “the biggest heifer sale ever" last Saturday at Myer’s Balck and White Holstein Farm in Lancaster. Some 740 heifers, ranging in age from two months to two years, went onto the block. The heifers came from all over Pennsylvania, and about half were consigned. All but about a dozen were Holsteins. Myers reported that buyers came from 18 states, as far away as California and Florida, and two foreign countries to attend the sale. Many of the animals were taken home by local buyers, but the out-of-state bidders were by no means inactive. Some 140 head-alone went to Indiana. Purebred animals went for as high as $l6OO and grade animals went for as much as $lOOO. Average price paid for all animals was around $6OO, pushing the sale total dose to half-a-million dollars. About 400 of the heifers were Registered Holsteins. Lawn Care With the liberal amount of moisture in the ground at this time, I’m sure that all lawn keepers will notice the rapid growth of their grass in the next few weeks. This is proven by the sound of lawn mowers in the past few days. Some lawns have received several mowings without a spring application of fer tilizer to date. We urge folks to mow their lawns several times a week if the grass continues to grow rapidly; this will especially be true if fertilizer has been applied earlier in the spring. Heavy clippings should be removed from the area in order to prevent a build-up of “thatch” that will favor many disease conditions. Liquid Mtrex4 Half as many tanks to fill: This AAtrex needs only half the water as wettable pow der to treat an acre of corn. Easier mixing: No bags to open. No premixing. Pours right into the tank.
