On the January Active List, four of the top five cows for PTA pro tein carried the Tidy-Brook prefix. One was a Cleitus daughter, another a Blacks tar, one South wind, and the rest out of Emprise Bell Elton, a BLAD carrier. Two of the top cows for protein are Elton daugthers and are on the farm. The recessive genetic condition which causes the BLAD disease is a concern for them with selling bulls, but Alan said it is still worth it to have the contracts. So far, he said they have marketed more than 140 embryoes oversees. He said Japan ese buyers had recently been to the farm to look over his cattle. The 85-cow herd is managed for milk pro duction, but owners Mark and Alan Meyers, said the concentrate mostly on merchandising. Alan explained how he ended up with Tidy- Brook Sally Ned Boy. He said he was actually trying to get some semen from Blackstar and ended up with Ned Boy, although, at the time, Ned Boy didn’t have much of a proof and no information was out on his daughters. On her first lactation she made 26,650 pound s of milk, 892 pounds fat and 878 pounds of protein. As a 3-year-old, she made 37,350 pounds of milk, 1,214 pounds of fat and 1,214 pounds of protein in 305 days, ranking second in the state for registered Holsteins for protein production. When the lactation was extended to 365 days, she came in with the third highest amount of protein with 1,349 pounds, from 41,455 pounds of milk, and 1,379 pounds of fat. All the bulls go to A. 1., with contracts with most U.S. studs and two bulls going to Japan, according to the Mey ers. Any bulls that don’t get sold into A.I. go loc-
