or to march as a group henry shepherd mbe parade marshal all animals at sale are artificially sired history was made on october 23 151 when the maple cattle bree ders association staged their first cattle consignment sale the sale was distinctive in that all of the cattle oftered were sired by hol- stein bulls in the maple artificial insemination unit the 57 head sold were drawn from 35 herds over the several counties served by the unit most of these breeders had not invested heavily in fashionable lines of holstein blood in fact their qnly claim to lame was that their young stock carried the blood of the splendid battery of black and white bulls in the maple unit only a few of these herds had been on record of performance and most of the animals offered had no record backing on the dams side on the sires side there- was splendid rec ord backing it was not to be expected that cattle with most of their appeal on the one side of the pedigree would sell at ultra high prices they did sell at good prices however and demonstrated the value of such bulls as are found at the maple unit in just average registered herds the 57 head brough 2702250 an average of 484 per head the 15 milking cows averaged 592 23 bred heifers averaged 505 11 open yearlings 32000 and eight heifer calves 358 the top prices were paid where there was record breeding on both sides of the pedigree the top price was 1100 was paid by j e houck brampton for a four year old daughter of lonelm texal high- croft consigned by pickering college farms newmarket which had a 2 year old 305 day 2x record of

f700 for a three year old and g leallepwr milton paid f688 td f g stark and n sons milkn fen a bred heifei the sale drew a capacity crowd that could not be all accommoda ted in mays aales arena auction eer i m ne franklin with the aid of ilrikh oulson on jndigrces sold the 7 head in less than three hours tin- comment that was heard fnoie frequently than any other was that the cattle offered were exceptionally well grown this could not all be attributed to good feeding we listened in while one consignor told the group around his two year old heifer that the heifer weighed 200 lb more than her dam at maturity yog must have been extra good to the heifer said one of the grbup the big bulls at the unit had more to do with it was the owners reply again and again we heard similar comments these men were sure that with the good bulls available at a well managed insemination centre such as the maple unit they were getting bet ter type animals than would have been possible from sires that they could have afforded as individuals there must be a lot of people who are thinking in this way mr g w keffer manager of the unit says that in the first six montns of this year the unit had an in crease of 64 percent in insemina tions and 24 percent in membership he estimated that the number of inseminations this year may reach 36000 the holding of the first con signment sale of its kind was
