NFU elects new head
In accepting the position of NFU
President, Carpenter said
agriculture as a whole and the
organization face many
challenges. To meet them, he said
a strong coalition must be forged
between farmers, seniors,
workers, consumers, and
cooperatives.
“We must be both forthright and
forceful in sharing information and
discussion on these conditions,'
with supporters and adversaries,
as we provide direction and make
clear our commitment that
“tomorrow” will indeed be a better
tomorrow for farm families and
their cooperatives than that which
we are caused to accept today.” he
said.

Pa. Bred Heifer Sale averages
BY LAURA ENGLAND
HARRISBURG For dairymen
seeking quality breeding stock to
supplement already established or
beginning herds, the Pa. Holstein
Bred Heifer Sale held Thursday
night at the Farm Show Building
was the place to be.
The 84 head sold averaged $1,626
for a total of $136,600. The fairly
constant bidding throughout the
sale provided the opportunity to
buy quality heifers at reasonable
prices, and as one farmer put it, “it
was a buyer’s sale.”
Leading the way as high seller
was a fancy Ivanhoe Bell daughter
which sold for $3,900. The June 1982
heifer, Tender-Touch Bell Ringer,
was consigned by Darrel A. Mills,
Lancaster. Steve Hoover and
Barry Garner, Martinsburg, were
the buyers.
Bred to SWD Valiant and due to
calve in October, the heifer is the
daughter of Spring-Belle Sophie, a
very good cow with five lactation
records over 20,000 pounds of milk
with 3.3 percent and above fat
tests.
The second and third high selling
heifers each sold for $3,100.
David Shutzman, Berlin, was the
buyer of the first of these two
heifers, Walebe Milkmaster Teer.
An April 1982 heifer, Teer was
consigned by Walebe Partners and
EmTran, Lancaster.
A Milkmaster daughter, Teer is
bred to Columbus and is due in
December. Her dam, EK Teer-ET,
has scored very good and com
pleted her first lactation with
17,970 pounds of milk at a 3.9
percent fat test.
The other $3,100 heifer was
consigned by Dean Baity,
Covington, and was purchased by
Larry A. Shehadley, Fresno, Calif.
Emma-Dean Sexation Cindi, a
July 1981 heifer, is due in July to
Poverty Hollow Burkgov Demand.
Sired by Sexation, the heifer
comes from a good plus dam with
production records over 15,000
pounds of milk and 3.6 percent
tests.
Other top sellers were:
Lamondale Valiant Kittle, con
signed by Wayne Lament, Troy,
and sold to John F. Stoltzfus,
