The association average was 490 pounds milk and 22.5 butterfat with 255 cows milking and 58 dry. Nine cows produced 50 pounds more butterfat in November. All 27 members fed a grain ration. six silos were opened and six cows moved to beef while 13 were sold for milking and four cows changed hands. The November report for association No 2, via Ronald Diggins, shows B A Beck Belle Plaine led the high herd. average butterfat was 58 pounds. A C Kluss Luzerne owned the high cow at 59.7 butterfat.
