A3B—Uncasttr Fanning Saturday, June 7,1980 Sellers Milks (Continued from Page A 32) than anything. FFA was probably the biggest in fluence on me. I’m still bashful and get nervous when I speak in front of a group, but I had to team to do it in FFA.” Sellers served as state vice-president of FFA and won both the Keystone and the American Fanner Degrees. He said, “I’m proud of the job FFA does with young people.” He was also active in 4-H and participated in many activities. Now he is a 4-H leader for the Nosoam 4-H Dairy Gub, something he’s done for eight years. He serves as leader he acknowledges, “Because I owe FFA and 4-H a good bit and I want to see kids have the same chance I did. I hope I can be some good influence on them.” Active in many organizations, Sellers says, “If you want to have any kind of influence, you have to pick up your share of the load. I think there’s more to life than sitting at a cow every day. I enjoy it, but you’ve got to watch that you don’t get into too many things. There was a time when I was in too many organizations.” Sellers also believes in spreading responsibility. He stated, “I think if you give people a chance they will help. The more people you have involved, the better your organization will be. I’m really happy with the participation we have.” As a member of both the Expo Board and the Lebanon County Fair Board, Sellers enjoys the fair and likes to exhibit there. “It still has a country atmosphere, which we try to keep. It is really a growing concern and a lot of people look forward to it each year.” There are several things m his dairy program which Sellers does differently from many. For instance, Sellers’ cows stay m the barn all winter. “We bed heavily, and we’ve done it for 10-12 years,” he states. One question he always gets is how he catches cows in heat, but he says it has not been a problem with close ob servation. Beet pulp is fed at the rate of three pounds per cow, once a day. “I think it keeps the cows on feed better, and keeps the digestive system working,” he says. The institution of a mastitis control program a year ago has paid off in big dividends for Sellers. On the somatic cell program at the time, he says it was a “big indicator” that something was wrong, although he had very few mastitis cases. He cultured all the cows and gave them a blitz treatment. He needed to dump 10 milkings for 24 cows, and a month later just three cows required treatment. At that point he began a dry cow treatment program and teat dipping. Smce then his production has increased by 3,000 pounds, and he now has lO different cows milking over 100 pounds a day. He's not sure what caused the jump, but says, “The mastitis program is the only thing I did differently.” He adds, “By most people I’m a heavy hay feeder. I feed 14 pounds daily per cow and go down to about six pounds at the lowest point. I feed 30 pounds of com silage.” He also feeds a 16 percent shelled com ration and says, “Thirty-five pounds is as high as I’ll go.” He is convinced of the value of feeding hay. “I think good hay is the best cow feed you can get.” He tests twice a year and tries to get the fourth cutting of alfalfa when possible. He feels a high roughage diet is the most economical diet to feed. He raises all his own hay and com for roughage. He grows about 35 acres of alfalfa, 75 acres of com, 10 acres of wheat and has about '3O acres of permanent pasture. Away from the farm, Sellers serves as superin tendent of the Fontana Union Sunday School, and the family belongs to the Fon tana , United Christian Church. Karen serves as assistant Sunday School teacher and works with Bible School. Karen is equally com mitted to community ac tivities. She is a member of Farm Women 11, and is vice president of the County Farm Women. She is teen leader advisor for the South Mountain 4-H Community Club.
