The Pennsylvania Junior Hols
tein Convention will be held in
conjunction with the PHA conven
;ion in Mercer and will be held
February 17, 18 and 19.
Alan Hostetler, State Director,
announced the Pennsylvania Hols
tein Association’s intentions to
build a show bam at state college.
This decision came in response to
the increasing rent charged for the
Farm Show complex in Harris
burg. Rent for the Farm Show
buildings for the association’s
spring show has been set at
between $B,OOO to 39,000 for the
three-day event.
The proposed show bam would
house 250-300 head and would
cost approximately $200,000 to
build. However, once built the uni
verity would assume responsibili
ty for maintenance.
Ken Raney of the state associa
tion reminded members that a mor
atorium is in effect until November
30. Members can register animals
between 9 to 23 months of age for
$2O/head which is a savings of
$25.
