AROUND PERTH
Holstein Club has
Top Membership
With 466 members, the Perth
County Holstein Club is one of the larg-
est Holstein clubs in the province.
Members come together to promote
Holstein cattle, to foster a keener inter-
est in the breed and the spirit of friend-
ship among dairymen, and to help to im-
prove existing herds as well as to estab-
lish new herds.
John Fotheringham, the president,
milks about 100 cows near Palmerston.
His father starting breeding Holsteins in
the early 1950s, and the work is being
carried on by John and his two brothers.
The Fotheringhams also grow alfalfa,
corn, and barley on 500 acres.
The club holds a number of events
each year, including barn tours, barn
meetings with guest speakers, and a
twilight meeting and barbecue. The
gatherings are social events, says Paul
Erwin, secretary -treasurer, but also
learning experiences.
Another annual event is the Holstein
Show in Stratford each September. As
one of the largest of the county shows, it
draws about 75 head of cattle and 45
exhibitors.
The Perth Select Sale this year
(December 12) is the 14th annual sale
for the club. Held at Carson's Auction
Service in Listowel, it includes between
50 and 60 cattle chosen by the club's
county directors.
The club's percentage of the profits
(two to three per cent) helps to finance
its activities and makes it possible for
the club to donate money to other local
groups. Last year, $1,200 went to 4-H.
Glen Standeaven of R. R. 7, St.
Marys is the club's vice-president.0
