PAGE TEN Tii Hi A IN A A DAILY JPKES8 SEPT. 27. 1934. HERD AVERAGE UP 110 POUNDS Bijr Production Increase Made by Chatham Farm Holsteins An increase of lit-' pounds of hutterfat per cow has boon made this past year by the 1 pper Peninsula Experiment Station herd, according to the Holstoin-Friesian Association of Unerica. Wisconsin, who arc supervising the Holstein Improvement Registry test in continuous operation on the herd.

The average of the ten cows in the herd pounds of hut tor', at and 14.4 do pounds of milk. Three cows in the herd completed records of over 500 pounds of fat. This group was headed by Chatham with a production of 53 5.1 pounds of fat. and 16 166 pounds of milk. Strand place went to Chatham Mara thon Segis Homestead with a yield of 508.9 pounds ot fat.

and 15.765 pounds of milk. Chatham Traverse Segts DoKol produced 506 4 pounds of fat and 17.04 5 pounds of milk. In addition, a pair of cows recently completed lactation records of 465 8 and 4 4 1.5 of fat. This tremendous increase in production per cow was made possible by reducing the herd from 22 the previous year, to 10 cows. The production was also aided by five two-year-old heifers which were sired by a proved sire who transmitted high production to these animals.

These heifers greatly exceeded, as a group, any two-year-old heifers ever developed at the station, according to Russell E. Horwood, Extension Dairyman, who is supervising the herd. There were two purposes in reducing the herd; to improve it by taking out some of the low producing, low testing animals; second, to only keep the number of cattle tlm station could grow feed for. These purposes were accomplished. These ten individual cows were far more effieetit, yet produced considerably less than the 22 cows previously kept in the herd This aided in reducing the amount of product which was placed on the market.

By reducing the herd instead of buying hay and a large amount of grain. 40 tons of hay were left over to start he coming winter with. This I practice of keeping only sufficient good cows that can he properlj I fed from the feed grown on the I farm is important for every dairy man to follow The answer to the problem ot hrc'd improvement is the greater use of proved sires and their off spring and also, hich is just as important, the locating and or use of proved dams or brood cows. In order to prove a sire, all of his unseleeted daughters must he tested for production and their records compared with those of their mothers the entire herd year after year, made by the Ho when it adopted This means that must he tested A good start was stein Association the Herd 1m- provement Registry test over six vears ago At present li ero are 265 Holstein herds in Herd Tot. iticluding over 8,000 covvs.
