products will be higher, but that
total income for dairy farmers
may remain the same.
“From the profit standpoint it
may be tough sledding,” Sechrist
remarked. “In the 21st century
DHIA needs to be ready to meet
the needs of dairy farmers. We will
need to be more high-tech. There
will probably need to be more
electronic instruments at the
farm.”
Sechrist concluded that since
farmers are fighting to survive in a
changing economy, DHIA must
change to maintain its service to
member farmers. He urged the
delegates to formulate goals within
their local organizations so that
dairy farming will continue to be
profitable.

Harding, director of sales for the
PHA, in visiting five farms. Other
areas have already been visited.
And plans call for the selection of
animals even into Maryland to
continue for the next several
weeks. Kriebel said the dairy
science club has about a hundred
members. And they are involved
with a number of projects related
to milk promotion and to giving
their members practical ex
perience in many different phases
of the dairy industry. “While some
of our activities do become fund
raisers, it’s more important that
we have a learning experience for
persons in our club who would not
otherwise have a way to gain these
practical experiences,” Kriebel
said.
Jeff Harding said it’s also good
for the PHA to have a chance to
work with the students and add an
additional dimension of service to
the state holstein program. This
sale does put extra pressures on
both students and PHA personnel
since the sale selection must take
place over the state show and the
All American. In addition, the
students just get back to college in
September. So they really only get
back into the project at about this
time.

Obviously selecting cattle for a
top quality sale is not easy. But you
didn’t need to travel with the group
long this week to know these
students knew their cow families.
And it soon became evident that
everyone contacted wanted to give
them a good pedigreed animal in
the right stage of life to be an asset
to the sale. Dr. Larry Muller, club
advisor, and Dr. Thomas Sweeney,
assistant advisor, were given
much credit for their work with the
students and the success of the
clubs activities.
The students hope to have about
50 head of good quality cattle in the
sale. Right now they have com
mittments for about 30 head. So
they still would like to have some
additional leads, especially to
young cows and bred heifers from
strong cow families. If you or
someone you know has a prospect
for this sale, you are invited to call
Jeff Harding at the PHA office,
814-234-0364, or the sale selection
chairman Charles Seidel, 814-238-
1421, or Kriebel at 814-234-8749.
And also get prepared to attend
the October 31 Fall Classic Sale.
With the prospect of some out
standing animals already con
signed to this sale, it may be even
more exciting than a football
game.
