About Stall Comfort
Spend some time watching
cows rise in your stalls. See if
some part of the stall prevents the
normal lunge. This can be a wall
or partition. Also look for “rub”
marks where animals have repeat
edly rubbed portions of stall struc
ture in their efforts to rise. Neck
rails poorly positioned can inter
fere with rising.
Installing brisket boards to
keep animals back, opening up
fronts of stalls, or using dividers
which allow cows to put their
heads to one side are all means to
SALISBURY, Md. The
Mid-Atlantic Soybean Associa

The charter, binding four states
together as a regional affiliate of
the American Soybean Associa

about two months
ahead of the silver anniversary
date, members of the association
will mark the event at their annual
meeting Jan. 12 at the Sheraton

The meeting will be held in

This article can not begin to
cover all the specific factors which
go into stall comfort. If you do not
routinely see 70 percent or more of
your cows lying in stalls during
quiet times of the day, then you
can be sure that something is not
right. Remember, if they were in a
clean pasture they would all lie
down. We want our stalls to dupli
cate that clean pasture as much as
possible.
Soybean Association Sets Meeting
It was founded to promote the
production and use of soybeans
and soybean products.
Headquartered now in an office
in Salisbury, Md., under the direc
tion of Jerry Kennedy, MASA’s
first office was on the College
Park campus of the University of
Maryland, and its “resident agent”
was the late Joe Newcomer, a Uni
versity of Maryland extension
agronomist.
The list of members of the
association’s first board of direc
tors and the signers of the articles
of incorporation reads like a
“who’s who” of Mid-Atlantic
agriculture.
In addition to Newcomer, the
The MASA meeting will con
vene at 3:30 p.m., shortly after the
adjournment of the regular corn
and soybean conference program,
and will include a brief special
anniversary observance.
The guest speaker will be John
Baize, formerly director of the
Washington office of the Ameri
can Soybean Association and now
international trade consultant to
the National Oilseed Processors’
Association.
The association joins soybean
producers, researchers and others
in the industry from Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania.

The best advice one can give to
those who transmit data from the
dairy herd to the DHIA processing

USDA-AIPL’s genetic evaluation
