The beef herd utilizes land
that is unsuitable for
cropping purposes. The
primarily Charolais cow
herd has 95 per cent to 100
per cent calving percentage.
This high percentage comes
about as the cows are
pregnancy checked each
Fall. Low producing or
barren cows are culled to
avoid overwintering them.
Poultry meetings set
LANCASTER The Penn State Extension Service has
scheduled three educational poultry meetings in Lan
caster County, the first of which will be held Thursday,
Feb. 15, in the Farm and Home Center, here. Subsequent
meetings will be held there March 1 and 15. Starting times
for all meetings is 7:30 p.m.
According to Lancaster County Extension Agent Jay
Irwin, “a lot of important things have happened in the
poultry industry during the past year and will continue to
occur in the future. We have scheduled three meetings in
an effort to keep poultrymen abreast of these things and
help them meet the challenges that may affect their farms
and their industry.”
The first meeting, slated for Feb. 15, will attempt to
answer the question: “Do You Need to Be an Engineer to
Operate Your Poultry House?” Floyd Hicks guest stars.'
Also on the agenda for that first meeting is a panel of
equipment representatives who will discuss “What Can
The Poultry Producer Do To Keep a Check on His
Equipment, and Operate and Maintain it Efficiently?”
The second meeting, on March 1, features Fred Jaindl,
turkey grower, and John Pyfer and David Kluxen, at
torneys at law. All three gentlemen have been closely
involved with zoning and neighbor protests.
OnMarch 15 the program will feature three topics: “Who
Consumes Our Products and Why;?” “Broiler Con
sumption is Going Up;” and “Our Egg Promotion is
Paying Off.”
