BY RHEA HAMILTON
The Huron County Holstein Club has a
bit of a dilemma concerning their annual sale
of stock. Some members have suggested
thk the annual sale be held in conjunction
with Perth County. But Perth members have
hot been receptive to the idea reported Dave
Marshall, South Huron director. Mr.
'Marshall had talked with some of the Perth
members about the idea of a combined sale.
"I got the impression that they did not
think it was a good idea" Mr. Marshall told a
club meeting Monday in Clinton.
Wilbert, Freeman, director from North
East Huron reported that at a meeting of the
Walkerton Little Royal Fair county reps
there has been .a suggestion of having a Tri
county sale with Bruce, Grey and Huron.
"The idea was brought up at the end of
the meeting and I told them that Huron
would have to know by the fall i ustwhat they
;;Were proposing for a sale in 1980." Mr.
Freeman said.
The club members decided to take the
advice of their sales agent and have their
own sale sometime in the first week of
August. A selection committee was
organized and will meet later this month to
set up regulations on the selection of stock
for the sale.Committee members are Bob
Vodden, committee head, Dave Marshall,
lim McKague, Joe Van Osch and Wilbert
Freeman.
Members discussed the possibility of
having a dispersal sale immediateley after
their own sale and the committee agreed to
look into the matter.
Robert McNeil and Dave Marshall
reported on activities at the National
Holstein Fresian. Association meeting in
Toronto.
Huron presented a resolution to the
national board asking that all past presidents
of the national association be named
honourary life members, to the National
Holstein Fresian Association. The board
turned down the resolution. The Huron Club
had decided to bring the matter to other
counties in the area to solicit support. Then
the Huron group will bring the resolution up
again at the fall - meeting of the national
association in October.
The two representatives suggested that the
Huron Club rent a room at the meetings to
give local club members a place to hang their
coats and meet others from their area.
"It is important for members to know that
they have a delegation down at the
meetings" said Mr. McNeil. , The club
members agreed and a suite will be rented
for the next meeting in 1980.
Other highlights from the Toronto
meeting included cutting back of directors
from the Hu ron area to three from four.
"With an election coming up soon we
need another director from this area and so I
ask everyone to support a local
representative like Jim Needham" Mr.
Marshall said.
The question of upgrading was left with
the committee to do' more investigating.
"As far as nip cattle are concerned the
committee didn't know what genetic
potential nipped cattle would have compared
to the purebred."said Mr. McNeil. More
specific information is needed.
As a result of the annual meeting the
OMMB is going to come under fire to
present a better dairy display. Members
were concerned that the display could be
more effective as it portrays the dairy
industry to more urban than rural viewers.
The Huron Holstein club has over 30 new
members and all have been invited to an
information day Friday March 16 at the
Agricultural office.
Members received tickets to sell for the
Ontario Holstein show May 5. First prize is a
vial of semen from Roy Brooks Telestar.
Huron members voted to take out an ad in
the Clinton Spring Fair entry book. This is"
the first year and the fair board is selling ads
in the book, one of several new ideas to
celebrate the 125th birthday of the fair. The
ad is to "entice members to come out to
exhibit at more Black and White shows."
Members discussed selling ads for their
own fair book which contains lists of
classified entrants., Members are to be
contacted by newsletter and the secretary
Don Watson will check the response.
members agreed not to attract businesses to
advertise as it could conflict with the fair
board booklet.
Of the 246 members in Huron Country
only 89 were classified or graded last year.
Classification is paid and done by United
Breeders and every member receives a card
asking when he would like to be classified.'
"People over estimate classification and
are discouraged from attending." said Mr.
McNeil.
Dennis Martin of OMAF pointed out that
classifying would be discussed at the March
16 meeting. Cards will soon be in the mail.
In a comparison of clubs in fieldman
Gordon Bell§ area Huron excelled in new
members and attendance to many events
including annual meetings. Of the 10
counties in the area Huron lagged in
attendance to twilight meetings and
exhibitors.
A barn meeting is scheduled for March 21
at the Brand Bros. Farm at RR 1 Exeter.
Speaker Ted Grenda from St. Marys, sale
rep for OSECO will discuss establishing an
alfalfa stands which will lead into a feeding
program.
Joe Van Oesch is organizing a bus trip to
the Ayr area to see three farms Monday,
April 9.
