Holstein Association Signs Research Pact With USDA
The Holstein-Friesian Association of America and the USDA sign a cooperative agreement to use DHIA production data for dairy site evaluation. The plan phases out the sire proving program in 1968 in favor of a daughter herd mate formula, with records processed at Beltsville and magnetic tapes to be shared quarterly. The move follows a year of major breed improvement changes announced at the Minneapolis convention.
