During the afternoon a panel WATERLOO discussed ofp oultry the new marketingon specialiststario Bro il- er Chicken Producers Marketing Board activities, Members of the panel made it clear that if Ithe Broiler Marketing Board 3REEDING worked it would discourage to- tal integration of the industry, but if some of the broiler con- tracts continue to exist it will encourage from egg to market operations. As a result of questions from the floor, the crowd was told that the Board had no control over birds from 51 lbs, up, but it was also made clear that producers would soon catch on to the poor economics of rais- ing birds to those weights. They were also informed that just recently the Ontario Broil- ers Marketing Board received powers to license growers to raise broilers in Ontario for marketing outside the province.

Gaunt, Lucknow, re- ceived a pleasant surprise phone call from a Texan Shorthorn breeder and a "sight unseen" telephone transaction was made with a half dozer females from the Gaunt Shorthorn herd going to Texas as a result. The nearby herd of W. A, Culbert & Sons, Dungannon, supplied some fifteen head to a tractor-trailer load recently purchased by Schrieber Farms, St. Joseph, Missouri. Schrieba er's manager, Irv. Rctzlaff was looking for quality along with extra size, The Huron County Hog Pro- ducers Association and the Ex- tension Branch, Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, Clinton, plan to study the effects of type of boar on grade of market hogs under field conditions in the near future. Under the guidance of Professor R. P. Forshaw, Ani- mal Husbandry Department, University of Guelph, this study is designed to augment the Hur- on County Boar Survey project of 1965. The results of this study may assist in providing in- formation to increase the per- centage of grade A hogs mar- keted from Huron County. Until tested, a boar is to varying degrees an unknown quantity. R. O, P, ancestry and breeders records are aids to im- provement, Just what differen- ces exist and to what extent they occur finally show up as differences in performance. A fair indication of these differ- ences can be obtained by fol- lowing the progeny of selected boars to market. In this project, boars will be selected at random from the list of boar owners compiled from the 1905 Huron County Boar Survey. The identity of owners will not be made public. This will insure that those with boars of unknown ancestry, and there- fore, not at present recom- mended, are not subject to per- haps unfair comparison with others. Three litters from each of ten boars in five categories (five categories of quality ac- cording to the Huron County Boar Survey - 1965) shall be tested. Pigs are to be ear notched for identification pur- poses by a representative of the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture before the litter is three weeks of age. The first three litters born after February 1st, 1900, and sired by selected boars are to be tested. When a producer sells wean- ers, the litter of ear notched pigs shall be sold intact but may go to different feeders.

FREEZER PORK Take advantage of market specials to buy freshly cut, top quality pork chops and roasts for freezing. Wrap the meat securely in freezer wrapping material, padding any sharp bones to prevent puncturing, Seal, label and quick freeze. Keep at zero degrees or less. Use frozen pork chops within four months; roasts within six months. As with most meats, it is best to thaw frozen pork be- fore cooking it. CATTLE Artificial Insemination Ser- vice from A. 1.

All pigs are to be marketed through the normal channels bu with separate tattoo markings. Co-operators will be supplying information re weight, grade and market date. After all the test litters have been marketed, the various boars will be evaluated accord ing to the grade of their mar- ket hog progeny. Results from the project will be completed by this fall.
