herd health program. In addition
to shots and reproductive care,
your health program should also
focus on foot care, uddefhealth

milking techniques), parasite
control and bio-security (keeping
diseases off the farm).

HAVE SOIL or
LIVESTOCK PROBLEMS?
Natural products and materials get to the cause. Our
customers have healthier crops and healthier feed, and healthier
livestock of course. Reason tells you, 23% of protein hay, 27%
haylage and bigger crops than their neighbors.
We have an excellent self replenishing, microscopic blue-green
algae cover crop. One of the greatest discoveries for quick and
permanent soil conditioning and loosening, and erosion
prevention. Sow along with other crops. Stays tiny, but does more
than a tall plant. It conditions while it grows.
We have a highly concentrated pure plant food dry fertilizer to
mix in your water at half price. Save transporting and buying
water and filler. Our complete mineral and trace element
fertilizer produces very high yields loaded with rich nutrition
and disease resistance. Why use toxic fertilizer when non toxic
produces better and cheaper?
We have an inquiry for wholesale organically grown beans and
grain. Who will grow them?
We have a high quality, high performance water filter and
purifier for livestock and one for the family beating
competition with performance for the price. Cows respond to
good water in health and production.

SHENANDOAH INCINERATORS - A SANITARY
ALTERNATIVE FOR ON FARM DISPOSAL
The sanitary way to get rid
of animal carcasses is with
a Shenandoah incinerator.
It’s pollution controlled and
convenient to use. It’s also
extra efficient because
we’ve lined the burning
chambers, and in some
models even the af
terburning chambers, with
one and a quarter inches of
refractory cement. That
keeps the heat up and the
energy costs down.

pencil carefully before spending
and before cutting. One area that
deserves close scrutiny is fields
that have been heavily manured
for several years. You might be
surprised how little fertilizer these
fields actually need.
Feed is the largest single item of
expense. Are you making
maximum use of good quality
home grown forages? Are you
spending too much on high-priced
exotic feeds and additives,
vitamins, minerals, preservatives,
etc .-more than what the cows
really need? Are crop yields,
especially hay yields, high enough
for maximum efficiency? As with

profitable, but the highest yields
may not be the most profitable.
Could you cull the cow and heifer
herd harder, taking better care of
Qie remaining cattle, making
greater use of home-grown
forages, reducing feed purchases,
and possibly improving profits
even though the milk check might
be smaller?

of this opportunity? Do you discuss
the tax consequences of your
financial decisions with your ac
countant?
Machinery and equipment ex
penses can be a big item, too. Do t
you operate machinery and
equipment carefully and keep it in
good repair? How much and what
size equipment do you really need?
Can some one else do some of the
field work for you? Are you trying
to farm too much land, and
neglecting the herd in the process?
Is some of that land too far away to
really be profitable?
If your debt payments are killing
you, and if there is little hope for
generating more income, is there
anything that can be sold and
converted to cash to reduce the
debt load without seriously
jeopardizing profits?
Are you keeping
and using the
kinds of financial, herd and crop
records you need to really know
what is going on in your business?
The list of ideas could go on and
on, and I have gone on and on! But
I'd like to end with this last
question. What estate planning has
been done to aid in the orderly,
affordable and fair transfer of the
farm business from one generation
to another?
Pinkeye, flies
are booklet topics
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - A free
brochure now available from
Anchor Animal Health discusses
producer strategies for fly control
and pinkeye prevention.
Pinkeye and hom flies are
estimated to cost the U.S. cattle
industry about $1 billion annually.
In an individual operation, the
problems can destroy narrow
profit margins.
The brochure covers problem
identification, costs, products and
customized programs. New tools
such as Anchor’s combination
pinkeye vaccines and EAR
FORCE tags are highlighted. Use
of tools, such as dust bags,
for controlling insect resistance
also is explained.
