depends on the nutritional needs
of the cattle and the primary for
age being fed. If the cattle arc
being fed high-quality forage, the
nutritional needs to be met by the
supplemental feeds will be lower
than if the forage is of poorer qual
ity. The cost of the ration being
fed will vary with changes in rela
tive prices among all feed alterna
tives. including the forages. In
fact, if there is a choice of forages,
the poorer quality forage may be
the least cost, depending on the
prices of supplemental feeds.
Consequently, it is important for
livestock producers to work with a

nutritionist to best determine the
nutritional content of on-farm for
ages and the least-cost ration to be
fed. given the current market
prices for alternative feeds.
Supplemental feeds do offer an
opportunity to reduce feed costs.
Based on December prices, for
example, least-cost ration analysis
indicates that a producer could
have substituted waste bread and
wet brewers grain for dry shelled
com in a ration with alfalfa and
saved '50.15 per animal (1,150
pound cow) per day. Fifteen cents
per day doesn’t sound like much,
but for SO cows for a year it totals
$2,738, or almost $55 per animal.

Arabian Horse Show
Set For Quentin
QUENTIN (Lebanon Co.)
The Pennsylvania Arabian Horse
Association this week announced
that the Eastern Arabian Horse
Show and East Coast Champion
ships will celebrate its 351 h year in
1994 at the Quentin Riding Club
August 5, 6 and 7.
The Eastern Show/East Coast
Championship helps THE FOUR
DIAMONDS FUND of the Her
shey Medical Center of the Penn
sylvania State University as its
charity, THE FOUR DIAMONDS
FUND will benefit from a raffle,
silent art auction program sales
and donations.
With no admission charge and
free parking everyone can attend.
The show begins at 8 a.m. each
morning and features almost every
show discipline. Classes include

milking routine. Plus, these labor
intensive techniques added two to
three minutes per cow per milk
ing.
The Coolidges and their em
ployees arc similar to most people
when raced with change. Changes
and related costs are hard to justify
when the results aren’t immediate.
“Bob Manning, Anne Czymmek
and Dairylca are very supportive,
though. They encourage their
farmers to make more money by
making these milking and clean
ing changes,’’ said Erick.
Erick said he and Dixie buy in
bulk to save money on some of
these items. The more expensive
items arc paid for in the long run
by the resulting increased milk
production and milk quality, he
explained.
Thanks to the new preparation
techniques and the other changes
the Coolidges have made, their
bacteria level is down and the herd
has had less mastitis which
means better milk quality. In Jan-

Hunter, Jumper, Dressage, Driv
ing, Halter and the popular
Mounted Native Costume. There
will be over 600 horses from 23
states and two Canadian Pro
vinces.
For the run of the show there
will be a large bazaar and faire
area with over 30 exhibitors dis
playing clothing, jewelry, signs,
woodworking, art, plenty of food
and much much more. The bazaar
will be open every day, all day.
The Quentin Riding Club is lo
cated on Route 72 just 3 miles
south of Lebanon. It is easily ac
cessible from the Pennsylvania
Turnpike, Interstates 22. 78, 81
and 83 and state routes 322 and
422.

uary 1994, they received Dairy
lea’s quality premium for the first
lime. As an added bonus, less
mastitis also means healthier cows
and therefore, increased produc
tion. In fact, the Coolidgcs’ herd
average increased 3,000 pounds
since they began instituting these
changes in their operation.
“We arc pleased that Dairylca,
our Cooperative, became our
‘partner’ in this quest to earn
quality premiums,” said Erick.
“Working with member-farmers
to improve their productivity and
profitability is what Dairylea’s all
about.”
Dairylca, a Syracuse-based
dairy cooperative with more than
2,300 member farms throughout
the Northeast, markets approxi
mately 3.1 billion pounds of milk
annually. Dairylea participates
and is invested in a milk market
ing network stretching from
Maine to Maryland to Ohio. For
