Galen Crouse selected Master Farmer 1980
(Continued from Page Al)
chased my share m cattle
and equipment,” the Lan
caster County dairyman
notes.
Being a lease farmer
hasn’t stopped him from
genetically improving his
herd. He purchased several
“fancy” cows m the last
three years and had 70
embryo transfer calves on
the farm. His bulls are sold
for breeding and the embryo
transfer heifers are added to
the dairy herd.
“We’re investing money m
cows. Bams and silos don’t
reproduce. We built the
facihties first, now we’re
working to improve the
animals that use them,”
Crouse emphasizes.
In 1978 he purchased
“Windy Mont Matt Kathy”
for $15,000. The investment
proved to be a good one.
“I’ve sold two calves out of
Kathy for $BOOO each when
just four months old. They
paid for her, you might say,”
he says.
This cow has 10 offspring
by embryo transfer due in
February. She was the third
cow of the Holstein breed to
produce 1000 pounds of
butterfat and 23,000 pounds
of milk at two, three and four
years old. There are 31 off
spring from the cow and

Crouse has sold four of her
bull calves for stud prices.
Encouraged by the
profitability of that “fancy”
cow, the Master Farmer
purchased others.
“It isn’t any more work to
have good cows—so why not
have good offspring to sell?”
he asks.
For the embryo transfer
program, Crouse deals with
a firm that supplies the host
heifer and does all technical
work involved. He estimates
total costs at $l9OO for each
live calf.
With 310 acres of land, the
Lancaster County dairyman
is kept busy, as are sons,
Philip, 21, and Neal, 18.
Philip manages the dairy
herd and much of the Al
work. Neal, just graduated
from high school, has the
prime responsibility for
feeding the dry cows and
young animals.
Carolyn Crouse, Galen’s
wife, is in charge of feeding
the calves, serves as a relief
milker, and does all of the
bookkeeping.
All of the crops are
produced to feed the dairy
animals. In most years,
yields include 6 tons of
alfalfa per acre, 4 tons of
mixed grass hay, 104 bushels
of shelled corn, 20 tons of
silage, and 30 tons of sudan-
