Cattleman STATE COLLEGE - Ralph Dotterer, a cattle feeder from R 2 Mill Hall, Clinton County, was named Pennsylvania Cattleman of the Year on Monday during the annual banquet of the Penn sylvania Cattlemen’s Association. Dotterer, who is the retiring president of the Pennsylvania Beef Council and served as a past president of the Pennsylvania Cattlemen’s Association, com mented as he received the plaque from Harry Stambaugh, director, ‘This is a surprise and honor I don’t know if I deserve it, but I’ll accept it ” The fact Dotterer did deserve to receive the honor was not a question in the minds of the other cattlemen Dotterer, along with his sons Charles and Ralph, Jr., have developed a prosperous cattle operation from the roots of a former dairying and milk bottling plant Dotterer received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture from Penn State in 1949. While a student, he was a member of the livestock judging team. Now, Dotterer’s operation feeds out 1500 head of crossbred steers farm mactir Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 7,1981 of the year each year. A brood cow herd of 165 crossbred cows roams the pastures of hxs 300 acre farm, plus ad ditional rented pastureland, totaling around 130 acres. Dotterer and sons raise then own feed on 1000 acres of cropland. His production record and methods of growmg and harvesting his haylage, corn silage, and high moisture ear com helped to earn Dotterer the recognition of 1980 Master Farmer. Dotterer, who is also a member of the Grange, noted he sup plements his feed ration for his steers with potato waste from Wise Potato Chip factory in Berwick. He noted the waste is “about like corn silage on a dry matter basis, but because there’s so much water with it, it’s expensive to tran sport.” Dotterer, who’s been raising beef cattle since the 1930’5, ac cepted the honor and recognition of his fellow cattle producer’s with humility Looking on proudly and smiling as he received the award Monday evening was Verna, Dotterer’s wife, a home economics school teacher.
