One of the few farms that manages successfully to grow enough alfal
fa to produce adequate haylage for the cattle, Griebel’s Dairy Farm In
Lucinda, Clarion Co., has been In operation for more than 100 years.
“We’ve been very successful with raising alfalfa. We direct-seed it and
have had good luck doing ft,” said Joseph M. Griebel, Jr. Griebel,
together with wife Clara and two sons—Rick, 27 and Allen, 24—manage
about 700 acres and raise 170 head of Holstein with 30 young stock. They
milk at 3 a.m. and 3 p.m. every day from a double 8 herring bone milking
parlor and average 18,000 pounds of milk. The Griebels feed nutrient pel
lets to topdress and the computer does much of the corn feeding.

COMING TO A DEALER NEAR YOU.
AmmoTek'“ feeds are a blend of high-qaulity pro
teins which have complementary ammo acid pro
files. The AmmoTek patented process is then
applied to this blend, resulting in significantly
increased levels of absorbable bypass protein
and ammo acids.
Central Soya research shows that cows fed Ami
noTek had a summit peak which was over 8
pounds higher than the peak of cows fed conven
tional protein feeds. Besides the obvious eco
nomic advantage which comes from increased
milk production, other economic advantages
may include improved milk composition and
breeding performance.
See your Master Mix dealer for the AminoTek
feed that’s right for your herd.
