Scottish theme to represent the
native homeland of the Ayrshire
cattle breed, the National Ayrshire

Ayrshire Association president
Raymond Jarratt and his wife
Fenella, of Los Lunas, New
Mexico.
Blossom’s consignor and
breeder Jack Miller, of Bradner,
Ohio, offered 20 percent of the
selling price back to the purchaser
whether or not the unborn calf is a
bull or a heifer. This set keen
bidding on the tall, outstanding
senior 2-year-old heifer. Con
tending bidder was Dr. Charles

Their chick-size waterer solves man-size problems.
New SWISH SATELLITE system waters
chicks and poults from day 1
The biggest problem with founts and other supple
mentary waterers Is manpower—the labor needed to
clean and hand-fill them. Also, birds don’t always get
clean, cool, fresh water which can cause health prob
lems and poor feed conversion.
But now there’s the new Swish
SATELLITE system.
It attaches to any Swish floor
watering system (and most other
brands, too), to give you an auto
matic system that baby birds take
to immediately.
And your birds get fresher,
cleaner, cooler water that they
love to drink. Which means they’ll
drink more of It And that means
healthier birds.
The Swish SATELLITE also cuts
water waste which means drier
litter, less disease.
