top index sires and high producing
dams for Ayrshire, Brown Swiss,
Holstein and Jersey sales at the
1989 Pennsylvania All-American
Dairy Show, September 25-29 r.
Cows and heifers must have
exceptional udders and big milk
potential. Buyers expected from
30 states and Canada. Sky’s the
limit on prices.
The 26th Pennsylvania All-
American Dairy Show at the Farm
Show Complex in Harrisburg will
feature four individual breed sales
along with the regular competition
among the nation’s top dairy
cattle.
“There is no doubt that quality
animals at the All-American
attract buyers and big bids,” show
manager Charles Itle said. He
cited the example set last year by
three-year-old “Terra-View
Rotate Princess,” top seller in the
five All-American sales.

UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) — If wet weather continues,
or returns, to interfere with hay
crop silage harvest, consider the
following reminders from Richard
Adams, Penn State dairy scientist:
The extended period of rainfall
has seriously delayed harvesting
of hay-crop forages. Not all hay
crop forage needs to be wilted to
40-50 percent moisture, as often
done under more ideal conditions.

additive such as ground grain,
soyhulls, dried beet pulp or other
suitable by-product ingredients
should be added at about 150 to
200 pounds per ton of forage to
reduce seepage-and help in preser

energy content of the silage as it is
fed out.
