Three-Springs Shorthorns (Continued from Page A 18) Springs Farm travelled to nine events throughout the East in cluding the National Milking Shorthorn Show, held in Madison, Wisconsin. At the National Show, Young took top honors in the Aged Cow class and Junior Calf class. Because of the new Shorthorn image that showmen and dairymen like Young are promoting, the new Ilwaras are gaming respect and popularity in the industry, even among the non- Milkmg Shorthorn breeders. Young added that the Ilwaras are proving that the breed is com petive and compatible in the show ring and in the milking parlor along with all the other breeds. •'Surprisingly,' over one thousand grade-Holstem breeders in the United States are crossbreeding using Ilwara semen. And over 95 percent of all Milking Shorthorn cattle have Ilwara in- fluence running through their veins," reported Young, o. He explained that one reason for the gained popularity is the CUT YOUR FIREWOOD EASILY WITH - THE LUMBERJACK WOOD SA W modern design, built with strength. driven by your tractor p.t.o. - 540 r.p.m. best shielding of any saw of it's type.

Young pointed out he could feed less to an Ilwara Shorthorn than to a Holstein, and the Shorthorn would milk the same amount as the Holstein with a higher butterfat count. Presently, Three Springs Farm is milking 49 Ilwara Shor thorn and according to Young he is shipping more milk out than previously. The llwara’s hardiness is another quality that is cherished by Young and is a definite plus for the breed he said. “These red cows are just healthier and ward off infection easily. After the switch back to the Shorthorns my veterinary bill declined by two thirds,” he stated. “These two cost cutting factors are a savings to any dairyman, especially when the cows are building the savings without extra expense.” Weren’t there any problems with these "down-under” breed builders? “Even with the ilwara’s attaches to 3-point hitch.

The Rational Shorthorn magazine decided to add the name, Uwara, to the title which is now “The Journal of Uwara and Milking Shorthorns, Young recalled. He added that many of the die-hard dual-purpose breeders' were very disturbed by the change and created quite a stir in the Association. “It will take time, but the Uwara Shorthorns are winning ground daily, because there are no gunicks or fiction in their promotion. “My wife, Linda, my daughter, Chris, who is a Cumberland County 4-H Dairy Club member and my son, Jimmy, are all proud to stand by the “red and roan beauties” their performance tells it they’re excellent in our eyes. ’' Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 7,1981—A25 Holstein LANCASTER - Willow Maple Farms, Newmans town, has been notified that a registered Holstein cow presently in their herd has been recognized as the national class leader in milk for senior aged cows.
