Here are some Of the practices that the Animnal IZusbandry DePartrnent at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege suggests: Watch that pastures aren't overstocked. Each cow needs about an acre Of good legume grass, 2 to 3 acres of renovated grass, or 5 to 6 acres of brush and woodland grazing. Pregnancy test ail cows each fall and seil those that arent with eauf. Ai for at leas 85 percent cal! crOP-90 percent is even More profitable. Breed heifers when they're between a year and a bal! and 20 months of age. On the aver- age they'll produce an extra cal! for you during their stay in the herd. If you don't use AI, buy the best bull avallable, preferably one that has been production tested. Keep at least one bull for 25 0ows and try ta get the semen tested before eech breed- J.ng season. Under reasonably good Pasture conditions, the calves y'our bull sires out of mature cows shouid welgh at least 475 to 500 pounds at 8 ta 9 months -of age without creep feeding. The bull himself ahould exhibit no heritage defects and b-is relatives shouid be free o! such defects as dwarflsm, uterus prolapse tendencies, or unsound feet and legs. Limit. beeding to a 2 month season, then remove the bull and keep hini away fromn the cows. At weaning time, you'l have a more uniforma bunch. cf calves. Keep down feed costs, creep feed calves oniy if ïou're going to seil them as fat butcher stock or carry thema over for a full feeding on dry lot. If you have shelter, plan for early winter calves. January and Febmuary calves givyo more weight to seli. Wveanî!ngu calves should weigh a miniu of 450 pounids or they pobably OAC FarmmHome Week Planned for June 9 to 12 From June 9 to June 12 Harry Palmer, the College she- thotisands of Ontario farmers pherd. and their families wilI be wel- One of the outstanding fou- corne guests at the Ontario tures of the 1959 program will Agricultural College, Guelph, be a daily Farm Safety Demon- on the occasion of the Annuai stration, ini which common farrn Farm and Home Week.
