SLOCUM. Sire Power sales personnel report
rapid sales and the Sire Power office has
received many calls inquiring about the bull.
9H1909 VALVANO is another Cleitus son
that entered the Sire Power lineup. He was
developed by Superior Site Associates in
Oxford, New York. VALVANO was bred by
Keystone Farms in Pennsylvania. He has a
very deep pedigree with seven generations of

those cows are scored Very Good or

CUM and 9H1475 JAG*BL. JAG ranks 13th
on the Top 100 List at+l222. His +.09% and

at +9sp. He holds the Number 12 TPI spot on
the list at+1233.9H1401 MOUNTAIN ranks

duction and respectable type patterns.
The Sire Power line-up averages +62p.
There are 15 sires over +s2so. Leading the list
for Protein Dollars is 9H1448 SANDMAN.
He is an outcross sire (Beautician X Spirit)

$3OO sire is 9H1289 OSCAR. He has been
used as an industry-wide sire of sons. OSCAR
is now +Blp, +ll9O TPI and +1.42 on type.
There are also several High Reliability
sires in the Sire Power line-up. 9H1360
LEADER *RC’s udder composite (+2.21)
and PTAT (+1.71) increased with the addition
of nearly 500 daughters. He also added over
1500 daughters to his production proof and is
now +s24l, +6Bp and +226Sm. His +1129
TPI ranks him 68th on the Top 100 TPI list.
Another high reliability favorite is 9H1057

The three-day conference also
included a quarterly meeting of
the State Conservation Commis
sion, chaired by Department of
Environmental Resources (DER)
Secretary Arthur Davis, as well as
general sessions highlighting the
environmental education legisla
tion and the Envirothon program.
A fund-raising task force was
created last year by PACD Presi
dent Robert Wagner to address the
problem of growing responsibili
ties and an unchanging budget.
The PACD executive council
agreed witih the task force’s as
sessment that the current level
cannot adequately support conser-
re-activated 9H1173 GLOW. He has an udder
composite of +2.16 and a PTAT of +1.91.
GLOW entered the Sire Power line-up in
January 1990 at +2033m. After his January
1994 summary, at 99% Reliability, he is
+2190m.

vation district implementation of
state environmental programs.
Local districts are not always
fully able to implement state pro
grams because of financial restric
tions. The first year cost of district
involvement in implementing the
new Nutrient Management Act
alone is estimated at $750,000.
The current total allocation is $1.5
million. PACD leadership has re
quested $4.04 million to reim
burse districts for their response
on behalf of the commonwealth.

Remodel with Chore-Time and you
can have more birds, better per
formance and less maintenance. Chore-
Time’s 4 tier, 20 inch deep Dtlratrlms
are the same width as 3 tier dropping
board systems and 4 tier reverse cages.
Go from 60,000 birds to 80,000 birds.
Over 80% of the nation’s top egg
producers* have already switched
to Chore-Time cages with ULTRAFLO®
Feeders!*
Egg producers have been putting up with obsolete
chain feeders far too long. Now there’s a better
way: Chore-Time's proven ULTRAFLO Cage Feeding
System. Since introduction, more than 80% of the top
54 egg producers’ have gone to ULTRAFLO. A lot of
smaller ones have too.
They’ve all looked at the advantages and chosen
ULTRAFLO. That's because it makes them more
profitable. Total egg production and egg size—these
are the best benefits of our complete feeding system.
Why not check out the facts for yourself? Contact
us now—or ask any producer who owns ULTRAFLO.
Because the only negative comments about our
feeding system come from our competition—not from
our customers.
