CORNING. NY Nomina tions are now being accepted for the third annual Tele-Direct Feed er Cattle Program sponsored by the New York Beef Cattlemen’s Asso ciation. Beef producers must nom inate their feeder cattle by Septem ber 8. The sale will be held October 28 at Finger Lakes Livestock Exchange. Canandaigua, N.Y. The 1987 sale was very success ful with 957 head returning more than $400,000 to the consignors. Steer calves averaged S.BS per pound and heifers were at $.76 per pound according to Lee Kraszews ki, sale manager. Yearling steers averaged $.75 per pound and year ling heifers brought $.66. “The demand for feeder cattle in previ ous Tele-Direct programs has been excellent due to all cattle being health managed and because we were able to assemble large enough numbers to have uniform trailer load lots available,” said Kraszewsld. BrilHon pioneered the Pulvi-Mulch or and has introduced numerous features over the years that have made this machine one of the most popular secondary tillage tools. Now, with the introduction of the ML and MR Series, Brill ion offers a longer, high-clearance frame for better flow of trash through the machine. Another new feature is the non rotating tooth bar that holds the teeth in a fixed pre-set position that keeps them at the proper angle, regardless of the working depth of 2' to 6*. Other features and options are shown on the right side of ad. * Contact Brillion Iron Works for details. *iSR -’ The ML Series of Pulvi-Mulchers feature the (a) 20’, six-spoke ductile iron notched roller wheel, made of material which istwo and-a-haH times stronger than gray cast iron roller wheels. The roller wheels are manufactured in Brillion's own modem ductile iron foundry that utilizes a computer-controlled Disamatic mold ing machine. The frame is also designed to accommodate (b) the 16'/4' notched roller wheel or (c) the 1614 ' Crowfoot roller wheel for the MR Series. The machine may be ordered with either "C’ shaped ribbon teeth or “S’ spring tines. ISYLVANIA S.G. LEWIS 4 SON, WC. WEMIER FOROJRACTOR 352 N. JannarsvXlo Hd. _ Rou * Wm Grow Concordvl*. H.S.

Cartiala ON THE MOVE... IN TO THE 90*S NYBCA Tele-Direct Sale Set For October The 1988 program is similar to last year’s program, with all cattle having to meet specific health management requirements. All cattle are weaned no later than October 1 and accustomed to feed ers and waterers. They must be castrated, dehorned, healed and dry. The cattle also must be vacci nated for BSRV, Pl 3, BVD, IBR, H. Somnus, and the Clostridial series. They must receive a sele nium injection and be wormed with Ivomec. All vaccinations are to be completed between Septem ber 16 and October 1 and certified by the consignors veterinarian. Kraszewsld has calculated that costs for a 550-pound animal (1987 sale average) would be $5 to $7.50 for the shots and $1 to $2 per animal for labor. He emphasized that “labor is the critical factor and the greatest variable if your vet also has to play cowboy. The pre conditioning costs are minor for the added value you receive for PULVI-MULCHER The newly-designed parallel linkage features non rotating tooth barsthat hold the teeth In a fixed position to keep them working at the proper angle, regardless of the working depth. The photo also shows the spread-out frame design that permits good trash flow. Frame mem bers are 6”x4”. This machine is equipped with S-tines and the new 20” ductile Iron notched rollers.

RD 2, Rl. 050 Waal Loytvlxa BETTER SEEDBEDS AND BIGGER YIELDS With some types of tillage the soil is loosely packed with many lumps that allow moisture to evaporate quickly through air pockets. Lost moisture reduces speed of germination and impeeds the spread of small feeder roots in their search for nourishment. The Bullion Pulvi- Mulcher crushes both surface and buried lumps and converts fall and spring plowing into a dod-free seedbed. The firmed, mulched soil locks in moisture, especially at the root level. Soil nutrients become readily available to the young feeder roots, since they can reach out in all directions without struggling against clods. Nutrients then travel through the root system, developing stronger plants, which in turn result in bigger yields.

As an example, Kraszewsld used cattle he consigned to the program in 1987. “My total costs per calf including vaccinations, hay and feed for 28 days, trucking and sale commission was $46.70 per ani mal. However, I weighed my calves at weaning and have my sale weights. The calves gained an average 0f53.48 pounds each and I received $.819 a pound straight through. This equals $43.80. Sub tracted from $46.70 equals $2.90 per calf for all costs. In effect, I spent only $2.90 to precondition, transport and sell each calf last fall. I would have had no costs involved except for one heifer that showed a negative weight gain.” The NYBCA Tele-Direct prog ram is for both small and large pro ducers. Consignors sent from two to 75 head with an average of 14 head per farm. Many consignors work together and combine their efforts in working cattle and share A.B.C. GROFF, INC. 110 S.
