In her first lactation of 330 days, her dam, Potter Creek Colonels Leota produced 19,772 pounds of milk and 801 pounds of fat. Second lac tation was 18,600 pounds milk and 743 pounds of fat in 302 days. The heifer was bred to Golden Harvest T H Super. Susie Hollenbach, Carl’s daughter, had her own reasoning about the pur chase of a calf. While her parents chose Almira of Montview Farm for Susie on her pedigrees, Susie chose her “so I don’t have to scrub white knees.” The heifer did indeed have solid colored knees. At $1450, Twin Brook Deacon Pamela, topped the calf prices. The seven month old calf was purchased by Don Canon, age 17, Sharon, for his project animal. Don, a member of Hay- Burners 4-H Dairy Club, termed the animal “sharp and dairy.” The calf was sired by the now deceased, Lyrene Wistar Deacon and was consigned and bred by John E. Marchezak, R 1 Bentleyville. Don’s mother, Nancy, stated that the family has operated a jugging operation for twenty years. They live on a third generation farm and have 150 head of registered Guernseys.

These fields should have conservation practices on them to keep youthful bidders. Although her family has mostly Holsteins, Tracy had her eye on number seven. Tracy was successful with her bid of $575 in securing the January calf. When asked her reasons for purchasing a ‘colored’ calf, Tracy shook her auburn hair and announced,“l want one the color of my hair.” Tracy’s mother also pointed out that the competition is not as keen in the colored breed category, and that she felt Tracy, age 10, had more chance for success with her Guernsey. Prices on calves ranged from $575-$1450 at the auction conducted by John Merryman, auctioneer. Bulls brought $37&5625 and older heifers, $6OO-$l7OO. All 4-H and FFA members were given a ten percent discount on the purchase price.
