LANCASTER - The
Pennsylvania Pork
Producers Council will hold
their second Keystone Pork
Congress next Wednesday
and Thursday.
The scene of this event will
be the Host Farm, located on
Route 30 East, Lancaster.
Kicking off the event will
be a morning trade show,
along with a discussion on
what commercial pork
producers need from the
boar producers. Other
management discussions
will follow on topics like
replacement gilt
management, feeder pig
handling, breeding centers
and hog outlook.
There will also be a
program geared for the
home. A lard recipe contest
will be judged, and the
National Pork Queen will be
on hand to talk to the par
ticipants.
And, for those hog
producers who find the
marketing subject too hard
to take, there will be a
course in C.P.R., cardio

Both hay, silage, and
pastures crops respond to
good management. Growers
who make a special effort to
get maximum yields of
quality forages usually do
get more than the average.
As an example, some of
the top growers in the 1979
Alfalfa Growing Contest got
7 tons of alfalfa per acre.
This did not just happen.
They planned and made
do the same with hay crops,
com for silage, and for
grazing land. Doing all of the
practices that you know and
doing them on time, will
often get encouragemg

This is especially true of
heavy over-finished cattle.
I realize it is difficult to
sell a string of finished cattle
when the market is not
suitable. However, to keep
them on feed means higher
cost of grain and less price
per pound when marketed,
in most instances. It might
be good planning to be
cutting out the heavier cattle
each week and sell them
rather than to hold the entire
string, hoping for a price
advance.
The continued feeding of
finished cattle is just “poor
business” at this time.
