Rep. E.L. RO'THMEL, Assoe.'Rep The Dhiveisity of Guelph recently conducted a survey on the reasons for culling dairy cows from .the herd. 30% of the cows were culled for reproductive problems, Another 20.5%:, were sold for breeding purposes. Low pro- duction claimed another 14%. Other reasons included mastitis, udder breakdown, • foot and leg problerns;- sick- ness, injuries and a number of miscellaneous teasons. The study points out the importance of coming; to •grips With reproductive prob- lents - often by working a : . little harder on ration formu- lation. It also shows that fainters may not get around to culling for low production because they are losing so many animals for other reasons, %, NEXT YEAR'S WEED: CONTROL Make a start on next year's . weed control now. Make a note of problem weeds as you harvest or plow. Take an example for identification, if ' you, •don't know it. This, winter make appointments with your extension and agri- business people and get a program that will tatch any weeds that are escaping from your regular program. " . .
