Cow Testing Association Notes
Mr.. Werner Sorenson of the Hills.
bofo Cow Testing Association reports
having sixteen cows in the association
which produced forty pounds or butter
of butterfat during the month Of Sep.
TENDER. All but two of the sixteer
received grain or silage or both as q
part Of their dairy ration The high
herd received thirteen pounds of sill.
age and four pounds Of grain per COW
daily.
I The high COW in the association re-
ceived a ration made up Of equa
equal parts corn, oats, bran and oil
meal. In every case where grain was
fed the results in production showed
decided profit over animals that
were not fed grains. In one partic.
ular instance we observed most no.
! ticeable result. One member stopped
feeding grain and his herd fell of
so % in production in three days.
We have completed out list of appJi-
cations for tuberculin testing and are
now waiting for the state department
Of veterinary science to pass upon our
petition.
