Dairy awards recognize county dairy herds in Lancaster county
The DHIA and Assn honored dairymen in Lancaster for butterfat yields from 500 to over 700 pounds. Furry H Frey led with a 35 cow Holstein herd producing over 700 pounds, one of three such herds in the state. Gilmore urged test programs and noted 116 herds exceeded 600 pounds fat, with most gains from home raised stock. The Holstein and Jersey associations will tighten new cow entries. DHIA and Owner-Sampler tests remain key. County agent Smith urged support for Farm and Home Center fundraising for youth programs.
