Show Dairy Herd Improvement Record Shows Constant Increase in Fat over this thirty six year period. What an improvement over the years. The cow named 'Again" owned own-ed by Brown King Holsteins made 24,920 pounds of milk; the cow named "Spot" owned by Paul Hortin made 881 pounds of butterfat for 1971. What tremendous trem-endous cows these are. Look at the average for 1935-what an increase and improvement. A dinner-meeting of theSum-mit-Wasatch D. H. I.

They received a first in milk and a first in butterfat in Summit; Sum-mit; second in butterfat; fourth in milk production in the State D.HJ. Program. One of their top cows No. H29-36, age 4-11 produced 22,450 lbs. milk, 854 lbs. butterfat in a record 305 days. This is not the first time the Paces have been top in Summit County for a few years.
