In earning the award from the National PUrebred Cat lie association. each of these herds produced an average of 400 or more pounds of butterfat per cow for the year. The highest producing herd was owned by Champaign county dairyman, Robert Busboom. of Gifford. Busboom's twenty-two Holstein and Guernsey cows averaged 12.914 pounds of milk and 599 pounds of butterfat--twice as much as the average Illinois cow produces. according to L. R. Fryman, extension dairy specialist at the University of Illinois. C. F. Nadelhoffer of Will County had the second highest producing herd. His twentyfive Holstein and Brown Swiss cows averaged 13,150 pounds of milk and 593 pounds of butterfat. Nadelhoffer's herd was the top Illinois herd in 1957. Fryman explains that. although making a high herd average is not the main objective of DHIA testing work, there is a close correlation between high production and good returns. That is why herds with high production are given special recognition with national honor roll certificates. Little words never hurt a big idea. YE DRUGS, Inc.
