Engle felt that one of the handiest, and least ex pensive items a producer could have was a lamb saver. Engle used a 60 milliliter syringe with a urethral or stomach catheter attached. The catheter was chosen because it’s rubber tube has a blund end which prevents spearing the esophagus. The tube is about 12 inches long with holes coming out of the side at the base. Engle suggested that a dixie cup. be filled with colostrum and then frozen. When you get a chilled lamb, the cup of colostrum can easily be warmed, put in the syringe and put into the lamb. He then suggested the chilled lamb be put in a small “brooder type” pen.

The brooder will get up to about 80 degrees. The combination of milk /in the lamb’s stomach and a warm brooder will revive the lamb quickly Engle said. Engle also encouraged Lancaster Countians to participate in wool pools and have stronger ties with the state association. The producers were also in formed that Lancaster County ranks third in sheep numbers in the state.

But better yet, it has more maneu verability than you’d expect from an auxiliary 4-wheel drive tractor Hydro static steering with an independent pump and circuit makes the MF 184-4 an easy handling unit, even with heavy front-end loads. Note that the heavy-duty planetary final drives don’t project beyond the outside edge of the tires That’s an engineering feature that can save a lot of time and trouble when operating in or around farm buildings.

Smith, a U.S. Department of Agriculture assistant secretary, said this final decision, still subject to approval by dairy farmers in the market, is based oh a public hearing last October in Philadelphia. To deter mine producer approval, the department’s Agricultural Marketing Service will poll dairy cooperatives. Pooling, Smith said, is a method where all dairy farmers supplying the market share in the higher valued Class I sales of the market and the lower-priced reserve milk that is used in manufactured dairy products. This is ac complished by combining the “class-use value” of all milk that handlers use and then paying aU dairy far mers an average price, regardless of how their own milk was used. PAUL I. EICHERT 8 SON ABRACZIHSKA’S FARM EOUIP. INC. RDI, Orwigsburg, PA Ph: (717)943-2304 The decision would reduce the pooling standards for both distributing plants and reserve processing plants and permit a federation of cooperative associations to operate a pool reserve processing plant. The decision also would increase the number of days’ milk production of a producer that may be diverted to nonpool plants when it is not needed for fluid use at a distributing plant. The decision denies a proposal that would require Middle Atlantic order handlers to pay not less than minimum order prices for milk that is received by transfer from cooperative association supply plants pooled under another federal order.
