Calling classification an important tool of purebred breeders, Kauffman said that 800 herds with 40,000 cows had been involved in classification in this area during the year.

He said the milk-feed price ratio has been good this year, but with costs rising he encouraged them to take stock of the value of the animals they are working with. “You have the opportunity to prevent hidden costs by taking care of your valuable cows and herd replacements,” he said. He told the Holstein members that if they keep track of costs, “tne dairy industry will continue to be a productive, viable in dustry.” Lucinda Landis, 1979 Dairy Princess, discussed the American Dairy Association promotions and urged members and their families to use their own products, including the use of butter instead of margarine and real whipped cream instead of a sub stitute. “We must promote our own product and be proud of it,” die said.
