cow* on teat, producing
13,179 pounda of milk and 512
pounda of buttcrfat. Com
pared to a year ago, the
number of cows on test la up
by nearly 350, milk
production is up by 148
pounda and buttcrfat in
creased by four pounds to
reach a new high.
Production statistics show
that the per cent buttcrfat
remained the same com
pared to a year ago - 3.9 and
the average cost of grain
stayed unchanged - $306 in
both years. The value of the
milk increased slightly -
from $1156 in 1974 to $ll5B
this year. Roughage costs
increased by $4O to the
present $232, causing the
total cost of feed figure to
rise by the same amount - to
$528. That left the value of
the product above feed costs
hanging at $620, compared to
$658 a year earlier.
The Sinking Spring and
Stewart herds were the only
ones to break the 700-pound
mark. The 600-club was led
by Paul King, whose 46
registered Holsteins pumped
out an average of 16.476 M
and 666 F. Tied for fourth
place were the herds of
Stump Acres and Smysers
Richland Farms, -both of
which finished with 656
pounds of buttcrfat. The

had last year. Everett
