BOWMANVILLE ONT 166 King St. East 623-3396 Durham Agri-News Section Two The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 17,1982 Brownies Welcomed to 6th Bowmanville Pack By Brian E. Hall, Assoc. Agricultural Representative UNDERSTANDING DAIRY CATTLE GENETICS: Dairymen Dairymen are continually striving towards improving their herds and increasing the returns to their business. Improvement can be achieved by the Dairyman in many ways including increased milk yield, fat test, milking speed or by a more desirable type trait. All of these can be improved by following a breeding program, designed for each dairy farmer's herd. Understanding sire proofs, direct sire comparisons, Production Dollar Index and basic dairy genetics is important to the dairyman in designing his breeding program. Sitting down with all this information, and trying to select a bull to breed "Mabel" to can be a frustrating and confusing experience. Eastern Breeders Inc., the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Agriculture and Food and the Ontario Branch of the Holstein- Friesian Assoc, have worked together to organize a one-day meeting designed to help the dairyman understand and use genetic information to improve his herd. The meeting is to be held on Tuesday, December 14th, 9:45 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. at the Brighton Community Centre. Pre-registration is required and the fee for the day is $10.00. The Program for the day includes Blair Murray, Dairy Cattle Specialist, Dr. Brian Kennedy, University of Guelph, talking on understanding understanding sire information and proofs, and a farmer panel discussing their genetic programs. Further details of the day's program and registration forms are available available from the Bowmanville office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. 4-H MEMBERS HONOURED: 4-H Agricultural Agricultural members in Durham East received recognition and awards for their work in 4-H at the Annual Awards Luncheon on November 6th at Orono Arena.
