Dairy Herd Improvement, or cow testing as it is commonly known, is receiving renewed interest in-terest following the employment of a new supervisor to handle this work. He is Joshua Timothy of Ioka. The following dairymen in Duchesne County are testing their cows and keeping accurate records of production under the D.H.I.A. program. Paule Foote, Ioka; John R. Lemon, Ioka; M. J. Benson, Ioka; James Lemon, Ioka; Church Welfare Farm, Roosevelt; Albert K. Barlow, Bluebell; Grover Mitchell, Upalco; Upal-co; Ronald Lisonbee, Bridge-land; Bridge-land; and LaMar Nielson, of Bridgeland. Through this program, each dairyman has complete records of production. He knows what) each cow has produced the past month, and also her accumulated accumulat-ed production since the first of the year, and since her lactation began. This enables him to feed according to production, cull out low producers, and to know which of his heifer calves should be kept for replacements. More of our dairymen should take advantage of this service. The tester or County Agent would be glad to explain this program further to anyone who is interested |
