She is cleaned and the area around the vulva is shaved and disinfected. She is given a spinal block to keep her comfortable while the proce dure is being done. A healthy cow or heifer can be flushed as fre quently as every six weeks. If it’s the right kind of cow, there could be some profit in flushing that frequently. The Hants’ 49-head registered Holstein held has a BAA of 108.4, and is considered a high type herd. While irost dairy farmers divide their herd according to production groups for feeding, which is a good practice, the Honts also divide the herd into groups for breeding purposes. But according to Kirby, he and Cheryl really have three breeding programs one for Red and White Holsteins, another stressing deep pedigree, and one that stressed index for selling bulls and embryos. The milk sales help the overall form cash flow, and the herd averages more 21,000 pounds of milk. Kirby's parents bought the farm in 1959 and Kirby and Cheryl started dairying on their own in 1981. His father.had a dispersal and Kirby and Cheryl bought 14 animals at that sale. Kirby had also bought a few cattle through 4-H so they -started with 40, and they said they don’t plan any large herd expansions. For the Horsts, expanding their business efforts on marketing genetics, and approaching the business with the necessary effort, is what has really allowed them to progress with their busi ness and better support their family. "It's great to be part of the team at ADC that produces a quality product and stands by its farmers." —Levi & LuAnn Ransom Nicholson, Ri , f
