They grow faster as calves and they produce more milk as mature cows. Crossbreds in the University of Illinois dairy herd averaged 11 6 more butterfat and 2.4 more milk in their first year of milking than similar purebred cows. R. W. Touchberry, University of Illinois, scientist who conducted the experiment, declares, The big increase in production may be because the crossbreds grow faster and are more fully developed at two years of age when they begin to produce. When you keep in mind that about 50 of all producing cows are either in the first or second lactation, early calving and production becomes very important. Crossbred calves almost consistently gained faster during the first three years of their lives than their purebred acresearch report. But by the time cording to a Massey-Ferguso- n the cows were five years old the weight difference practically dishalf-sister- s, appeared. There are several advantages to faster growth. First, more rapidly growing animals usually need less feed to reach maturity. And, secondly, bull calves and cull heifers can be shipped to market sooner. Crossbreeding probably isnt for the top 10 to 20 of the purebred cattle breeders, says Touchberry. But it has advantages for some commercial producers It is not a cure all and certainly isn't a substitute for proper feeding, sanitation and overall good ; J ies participating in a school to be held in the CSU Library Lounge on Tuesday Feb. 9, beginning at 10 a.m. Following is a copy of the program that will be of interest to farmers in the area: 10 a.m., Film on good seed 10:30, How I control weeds on My Farm or Ranch, a panel of three fanners. 11:00 Recess: 11:10, talk by Ariel Johnson, Are we planting weeds on our farms unknowingly. 11:40, Report of drill box survey by Louis a Jensen. 1:00 p.m., Louis A.
