HOLSTEIN MEN ADVISED TO STAY IN DAIRY CATTLE Members of Huron County Holstein Club were warned to forego- selling their Holstein cows for beef at high prices which may have reached their peak. Douglas H. Hart, Woodstock, addressing more than 125 mem- bers at their annual Twilight meeting -roar Kipper, said `it would be unsound to go from milk into beef" "Beef is at its peak now, or at least we think it is at its peak, and in all probability beef prices will drop," he said. Dairy prices are not inflated and chances are present prices for milk will be maintained -"if not improved," he said. Mr. Hart, a director of the Ox- ford County Holstein Club, said he felt "we would be making a bad mistake to switch to pro- ducing beef cattle." Breeding cows with beef bulls would also be an error, he said. "I don't think we'll find a drop in milk prices as (we will) in beef prices," The twilight meeting was held on Breejerr Farms, owned by Drs. James T. and Gilbert Jarrott. One of the highlights of the evening was the inspection of a 11 -year- old bull, Glenadton Excelsior, which was bought for $5,000 when 12 hours old by the Jar-rott broth- ers. R. G. Bennett, Clinton, agri- cultural representative for Huron County, explained standards of judging Holsteins. Howard Tre- warthe, president of the club was chairman. Dr. James T. Jarrott welcomed the guests.
