And, when a farmer works with a herd of dairy cows, he soon zeroes in on which old girls are apt to give him a headache. There’s always at least one „ four-legged lady that flatly refuses to use the comfortable stalls we provide. Instead, she’ll inevitably plop herself into the morning’s accumulation of manure, just as someone © nice lA J ir^ a end... ive 'eel JL starts up the tractor to scrape out the bam floor. Fence jumpers are, of course, legendary. They develop a finely tuned ex trasensory perception which enables them to identify a loose post or snapped wire from clear across a quarter mile meadow. Efficient manure handling that can generate extra incoi VttTRU from Surge. if you’re a dairyman, check out the rugged, new TRU manure handling system from Surge The TRU converts raw dairy manure into two valuable, easy-to-handle by-products A high nutrient liquid fertilizer, and a low-moisture, near-odorless solid that can be used as a source of quality bedding or sold as garden mulch Incoming manure is agitated in a process pit beneath the TRU The agitated slurry is then pumped through 4 sets of pressurized rubber rollers and perforated steel drums to separate solids from the liquids The solid has the consistency of commercial peat moss The liquid contains approximately 85% of the fertilizer value, and because of its water-like consistency can be easily transferred to a lagoon or field with no further agitation With a 100 cow herd, the TRU could easily convert a messy, smelly problem into $5OOO-sBooo* worth of high nutrient fertilizer, plus 36,000-54,000 cu ft of quality bedding or saleable soil conditioner per year |Sj|g» fSURGEJ SHARTLESVILLE FARM SERVICE RDI, Hamburg, Pa Ph (215)488-1025 LONGACRE ELECTRICAL PEN W.

Most calves manage to stand on their wobbly legs within the first half-hour of birth. Instinct next drives them to nuzzle the underside of their mother, who stays protectively near, until they locate her udder and nurse those first gulps of rich colostrum, filled with natural protective an tibodies. Sarah has learned to sneak up to a newborn and huddle close to the still-wet infant under the pretense of welcoming the addition to the herd. By the time the baby has struggled to its feet, Mom Sarah has maneuvered herself into a position whereby the hungry SEE YOUR DEALER NOW BRANDT’S FARM SUPPLY INC. 601 E High St Elizabethtown, Pa Ph (717)367-1221 calf finds her first. She generally accomplishes tl feat by planting her three quarter ton body directly over the calf as it stands. Not only does the baby then miss out on the mother’s special-produced first drink, but Sarah refuses to let down her milk at milking time. Instead she holds it back, hoping somehow to sneak back to the borrowed calf, and stands bawling with th warted love. Meanwhile, the calf gets penned with its real mother. However, there may be a cure for her hangup. What Sara needs is to be quartered day and night with a half dozen ever hungry growing calves. I suspect that she’d soon be so weary from constant attention that she’d never want to look at another calf again.
