Wilbur and Stanley Burkholder operate fills 84 -cow dairy
herd and have this to say about Purina. ‘'We have been on
Purina Cow Chow 38 Percent B for some time and have been
very happy with the results, however, when we switched to
High Octane 36 Percent B in July, I have seen an increase of
.3 percent in my butterfat test.

Their roughage program consists of corn silage, haylage

feeder to the early lactating and high producing cows. This
allows for a better feeding procram in their freestall
operation.
Milk production is up and our cows really have an appetite.

Paul and Betty Bishop review their DHIA records on a
monthly basis.
Paul and Betty Bishop began feeding Purina in April 1974.
Since that time the Bishop family has'made considerable
increases in milk production. In August 1974, they switched 1
from Purina Cow Chow 38 Percent B to NEW Mi-038 Percent
B The reason for the change? Paul comments, Purina
District Manager Ike Yates suggested IQ-0 38 Percent B
would give me more milk than I was getting. Having reached
600 pounds of butterfat, I decided my cows needed something
extra to keep climbing.
As you can see, they continued their climb.

The records show the improvement and a new stepping stone
for the Bishops’ toward higher production per cow.
DHIA records are a major tool for this dairyman,
David Paul.
David operates a dairy farm just north of Bath. David’s
situation is a little different than most dairymen today; he
had little farm experience prior to going into business In
fact, David grew up in Philadelphia and went on to teaching
before he decided to enter the dairy business.
He has had his problems as all dairymen do, however, he
doesn’t let them get him down but keeps pushing, aßways
trying to do better An example of this is a small blackboard
at one end of the barn which list the cows that are open.
David says this stares at him everytime he goes in the barn
and as a result he watches those cows a little closer.

Carl Hartman and Bill Stoner frorri Sfi'TfibilQaa, PA operate a
US cow dairy farm. One of the things which they are pleased
with is the fact that 36 first calf heifers are in the bilking
lineup. The heifers were raised on the Purin- D & H
Program. ,
Today their feeding program consists of corn silage,
haylage, high moisture corn and Hi-0 36 Percent B con
centrate. After switching to Purina Cow Chow 38 Percent B
from soybean meal, they had an excellent increase in
production and switched to Purina Hi-0 when the opportunity
to make more milk was shown to them.
