ing, compared to the milk avail
able to consumers today.

must promote these strengths

mals with Guernsey genetics.

uction, youth, young sire pro
grams, appraisal and shows for the
Guernsey breed to prosper in the
future.” Morrow said, adding that

the years in DIOR, TPE, type

’The role of the Guernsey breed
in the future will be a leadership
role in the areas of milk and cattle
marketing to increase the income
for our Guernsey breeders,” he
said. “With the products Golden
Guernsey Inc. has coming, own
ing registered Guernseys should
become mote profitable.”
The Milk Marketing Committ
ee is a major key to the future of
the Guernsey breed. With a shoe
string budget to work with, this
committee has set in motion the
process which will funnel more of
the consumer’s food dollar to the
Guernsey producer because it is
only Guernsey milk that will go
into those products. As the value
of Guernsey milk and its products
increases, so will the value of the
Guernsey cow,” Cochard said.
Seth Spencer of Gresham. Ore
gon, is to serve a four-year term as
director-at-large.
Seth’s greatest strength is get
ting people to work toward a com
mon goal. It is his belief that the
Guernsey breed will continue to
have a positive role in the dairy
industry.
