Hereford cows achieve
production
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A listing
of 1,331 registered Hereford cows
has been afforded special
recognition by the American
Hereford Association. Cows in this
elite group have combined the
single most important economic
trait of fertility, with the second
most important trait of growth of
her offspring.
To be a member of this elite
group, a cow must meet high
criteria in that she must be four
years of age or older, must have
had her first calf at 23 months of
age or younger, have a calving
interval of 370 days or less, and her
calves must have weaned at least
five percent above the average of
her herd. In addition, the most
probable producing ability,
compares dams which do not have
the same number of calf records in
their average. It isjmost helpful in
identifying the highest producing
cows to be kept.
Only one-half of one percent of
the nation’s registered Hereford
breeding cows can meet the rigid
standards to attain listing.
“Because of different
management programs, many
cows do not have the opportunity to
be listed, however those making
the list are efficient, productive
cows and are deserving of the

Karl Hellenck, Soil Conservation
Service.
These crops need additional
green cover over the winter to keep
the soil in top condition.

special recognition” stated H.H.
Dickenson, executive vice
president of the AHA.
There are 1,331 cows
representing 327 breeders from 30
states shown on the list. “This
widespread distribution in num
bers and areas further reflects the
Hereford cow’s ability to adjust to
different climates and
management programs,’’
Dickenson added.
Montana Hereford breeders
ranked first in the number of
breeders with 49 breeders listing
208 cows. South Dakota ranked
first in number of cows category
with 306 cows from 46 breeders and
Nebraska ranked third with 28
breeders and 118 cows.
Three cows listed are 14,15 and
17 years of age, have weaned 13,14
and 15 calves respectively, and
still maintained the five percent
above herd average for growth on
their offspring. They are LH Miss

A total of 79 cows have had nine
calves or more with never skipping
a year, and still sustaining the
performance traits.
August. Elliot has had good results
using 2 bushels of rye gram per
acre.
Aerial applications in August get
the job done quickly when farmers
are “less” busy.
Another method is to disk in a
bushel of rye gram after corn
silage harvest.
Regardless of how you get the
rye gram planted, it’s worth the
effort, advises Hellenck.

• Made from fiberglass,
lasting answer.
• Color molded permanently
into fiberglass to remain attrac
tive and new-looking.
• Fiberglass is practically dent
proof. Stands up to long periods
of hard use.
• Contents stay fresh because
fiberglass absorbs little or no
heat.
• Because there is very little
condensation on the inside,
moisture cannot alter the con
tents of material being stored.
• Fiberglass is rust resistant.
Acids and salts can’t hurt it.
• Steep-slope symmetry plus a
