worth working into your

them as a basis for anticipating
future heats.

such as feeding.
Heat detection aids such as chalk
and crayon, pressure-sensitive
mount detectors, hormone treated
cattle, etc., can help detect
animals that the eye has missed. It
might also be worthwhile to visit
the breeding age animals more
frequently.
Once heifers are bred, don’t
forget them or neglect them.
Continue to give them the care and
attention they need to grow to the
proper size at calving time.
Good, Quick Return
In raising heifers, your goal
should be to raise growthy heifers
that are large enough to breed at
14-15 months, and large enough to
freshen at 24 months with
minimum difficulty. This requires

This semi-mount hitch permits the use of smaller
horsepower tractors and allows you to operate on
rough terrain—lifting over field obstacles. Offset
units are ideal orchard cutters and are offered in
pull-type and semi-mount hitch models.
Construction is Bush Hog tough. Frames are box
steel with extra clean deck design to inhibit trash
and water build-up problems. Rubber-cushioned
axles provide excellent shock load protection
when operating on rough terrain. Drivelines are
fully shielded for operator protection. You can
rely on these new models for dependability,
durability and outstanding field performance.

service, you should have a crop of
well-bred, potentially profitable
heifers, that are ready to start
earning you a good income by 24
months of age.
When you accomplish this, you
will have more well-bred
replacements to choose from, thus
enabling you to cull your herd
more selectively. Chances are,
these replacement heifers will also
last longer in your herd because
they’ll probably be better
producers. That reduces culling
rates and replacement costs.
In these days of tighter margins,
we have to work hard at getting
good cows into the herd, and then,
keeping them in the herd longer.

NEWARK, Del. - “Setting two
price objectives is definitely the
way to go when planning how to
market next year’s grain,” says
University of Delaware extension
crops marketing specialist Carl
German. “When you’re faced with
very large grain supplies and low
prices, as you are for 1986, setting
both a minimum and maximum
grain sales price becomes a
necessary step in developing a
marketing strategy.”
Base the minimum price ob
jective on anticipated out-of
pocket or direct cash costs; base
the maximum on anticipated total
production costs, savs German.

Why bother setting two price
goals? “The minimum tells you
what you must get for your grain to
stay in business next year,’’ the
specialist says. “Prices received
above that level can pay for
machinery depreciation and/or
provide a return on your land in
vestment. Anything received
above the maximum will be profit.
You’ll need prices above this level
if you want to upgrade equipment
or take on other investments.”
