BYU BUILDS FINE DAIRY HERD; SERVES RESIDENTS OF UTAH COUHTY In the comparatively sfiort space of two years, Erigham Young University's animal husbandry hus-bandry department, under the leadership of Professor Grant S. Richards, has built up a dairy herd that would do credit to the oldest dairy farm. Careful selection and breeding of animals has done the trick. This fall, dairying students will be milking 20 Holstein tows. These young men, who spend a week at a time caring for animals, ani-mals, are proud of the production produc-tion record of the growing young herd. This spring, the herd chalked' up an average of about 49 pounds of butterfat apiece one month to lead all medium sized herds in Utah County. Other months the average has been near 40 pounds- This is particularly particu-larly gratifying to Prof. Richards and his students, since pract?al-ly pract?al-ly all the cows were then first calf heifers. The BYU dairy farm was established es-tablished last summer at Pleasant Pleas-ant View, on the road to Provo Canyon. At that time Howard S. McDonald, president of the university, said, "Although BYU is not an agricultural college in the ordinary sense of the word, I would like to do all I can to promote training of young men and women to go out and do 'a good job of building up Utah's farms." He said further that he wanted to see BYU have a mdel dairy herd, not only to provide milk for use at the university cafeteria and campus residence halls,but "to provide training for young men in sound dairy practices and stock production-" Aims Have Been Realized These aims have now been realized under the guidance of Prof. Richards, Thomas L. Martin, Mar-tin, dean of the college of applied ap-plied science and other BYU officials. of-ficials. In addition, the dairy is now providing opportunities for fitting and showing animals, and practical experience in judging. The herd has already brought home many honors from dairy shows and fairs. Four animals competing in the Plain City Dairy Days show brought back five blue ribbons and three pur ple ones for the university. The senior herd sire, Haven-dale Haven-dale Imperial Inka Bracelet, was reserve grand champion bull at ,the Richmond Black and White Show in May and grand champion cham-pion at the Utah Livestock Show at Spanish Fork during the spring. He was judged first prize two-year-old at the Spanish Fork, Richmond and Plain City shows- Two of the herd's outstanding out-standing cows also took more than the'r share of the honors. IHavendale Lassie May was sen ior grand champion at Plain City. Hyards Segis Colantha took first prize in senior yearling year-ling class at all three shows and was junior champion at the Spanish Fork and Plain City events. The BYU farm owns a half interest in a proven sire ' who has already had six daughters classified "very good" and two classed "excellent." All of the daughters are outstanding producers. pro-ducers. The sire was formerly herd sire for the W. W. Brown herd of Ovid, Idaho. Brawn's herd, consisting largely of the daughters of this bull, had the highest classification for type of any in the nation last year. A recent innovation will further fur-ther extend the value of the herd in the form of artificial insemination- Many requests from dairymen in Central and Northern North-ern Utah have been filled with artificial breeding from BYU sires- A fine pedigreed Jersey bull is also available for this service. Assisting Prof, Richards with the artificial breeding program pro-gram is Ashley Graham, of Provo, Pro-vo, a pre-veterinary science student. stu-dent. - Besides the dairy herd, the Thursday, October 2, 1947 BYU farm has acquired a few purebred Herefords for students of judging and fitting for show purposes. . .
