free choice (5% over intake).
Grains are fed at 3:00 a.m., 7:00

receive about 6 pounds of hay per
day. In the summer months they
are turned out on an exercise

farm has 750 acres, 350 tillable,
corn silage, alfalfa, clover,
timothy and some small grain are
raised. Income comes mostly from
tghe sale of milk, with the sale of
breeding stock providing a small
percentage.
The herd is under the jurisdic

tendent of dairy, and Jim Quar
tuccio, herd supervisor.
Since this is a college herd, much
of the labor force is made up of
students. In 1963, the College
established student herdsmen
positions to provide more in-depth
dairy and herd management
training experience. Upperclass
students are responsible for daily
chores, Monday through Friday,
and selected weekends. This in
cludes day-to-day management of
