Select Heifers
On 3 Points

CATTLEMEN CHOOSING heifers for
herd requirements can do good Joo
by basing their choices on three partlc-
ular points, according to N. A. Jacob
SEN. extension livestock specialist at
Montana State College.
ssThere's no one time in a cows life
that every important factor can be
SEEM Jacobsen emphasizes. $50 carry
out the selection of replacement heifers
over a period of two or three years -
depending on the age at which they
produce their first calves"
The three points on which he believes
a good choice can be made are: 1. gen.
eral appearance of cow and calf, and
weight of calf at weaving time; 2. body
conformation and growthiness as
yearling; 8. the weaving weight of the
first calf the heifer produces.
In order to have enough heifers to
survive this overall culling procedure,
Jacobsen recommends saving about 20
per cent more heifer calves than will
actually be needed for replacement
cows. Half of this surplus can be dis
carded as yearling heifers and the last
ten per cent according to the weaving
weights of the heifer's first calves.
A good type cow that is also a good
mother, will pass these characteristics
along to her calf Therefore the wean-
ing weight of the calf is a good measure
of a cows milk production. Weaving
time of the calf is the only time at
which probable future milk production
can be predicted in a replacement
heifer.
Since cows are kept to raise calves,
and their greatest producing years are
from four to eight years of age, it is
best to pick calves from cows in this
a ge group, Jacobsen emphasized
Maximum future production can then
be predicted.
The second check point is when the
heifers are yearlings. Body conforma-
ton and growthiness are the only
measures of selection at this time At
around Is months of age, heifers give
a good expression of their ability to
that is also a fair measure
of their ability to convert feed into
meat
The third and final step is to COM
pare the weaving weights of the first
calves of heifers of the same age.
Evidence indicates that heifers which
produce calves with below average
weaving weights-compared to other
heifers of the same age-will continue
to be below average producers for the
rest of their lives.

 Sana Claus arrives in an army jeep or helicopter. And, Wuth a GI playilng the role of Santa, he may bring along such presents as a cowboy suit or a coonsloin cap.
 Since the end of World War H, AmerIcan servicemen have opened thedr mess halls and re- creation rooms to German or phans and underprivlleged children for Christmas pan ndes Some American units also play host to refugees from the East. Milaary police units collect and repair toys to give German youngs CTS.
 In turn, many German fam lilies invite American service gnen to spend the holiday with them.
 In West Germany, currently enjoying ia boom, everyone ex- poets tfis Christmas will be he best i'm many years.
 Serltinentafly, Christmas is the years No. 1 event for Ger man-speaking peiples. Many of the Yulehilde customs were or iglRsated lby their ancestors. Re pu.edly, it was in Germany that the idea of Christmas tree started.

On that occasion, children place their shoes outside their doors and St Nikolaus fills them with candies, cakes and lfruits. Some times, if a child has been bad. Santa also leaves a small whip m a warming to the yougster to mend his ways.
 The second visit, on Christ mas Eve, is the time for child ren to receive toys and other presents from Father Christ mas (Wei.hnachtsmann) or the Christ Child (Christkirad). The American custom of hanging stockings on the fireplace is not known in Germany. But, as else where, a,dhl,s exchange pre- sests, too.
 The Christmas holidays Dec. 2426 are known as Weihntacht- en or sacred nights.
 Germans observe Christmas day much as they always have. They go to church. open their presents and have a big family dinner. Sometimes it is ;4he only family reunion of the whole year.
