Delegates to the annual meeting
of United Breeders Inc., (U.B.I.)to
be held in Guelph January 21, were
elected on November 28 when UBI
held its annual meeting for Huron
County at the Blyth community
centre. Elected for a one-year term
were Ken Ramsey, RR 3, Blyth;
Brad Speiran, RR 3, Brussels;
Hans Boonstoppel, RR 1, Auburn;
Goerg Muehlethaler, RR 1, Lon-
desboro; Paul Gibbings, RR 1,
Clinton; Mathew Staehli, RR 5,
Goderich; and Glen McNeil, RR 6,
Goderich. Dan Hunter of RR 1,
Belgrave, was elected as alternate
delegate.
Helen Leitch, a geneticist with
Semex Canada, was the guest
speaker at the Huron County
meeting, with an informative talk
on the “Impact of Growth Hor
mones on Sire Proving.’’ Using
slides, charts and graphs, she told
the audience, made up largely of
dairy farmers, what could be
expected in the new field of growth
hormones over the next few years,
and the impact such a program
would have on UBI’s sire proving
records, if it became common
practice.
She explained that although
there were still a lot of studies and
testing to be done on the subject of
growth hormones, it could revolu
tionize the dairy industry since
fewer cows would be able to meet
production quotas once the pro
cess becomes legal for use.
Other speakers at the meeting
included UBI vice-president Alan
Bell of Durham, who gave the
annual President’s Report on
behalf of President Wilfred Rod
gers; Bill Mulvey of Belmore,
Branch Manager of the Wingham

BUT
MOST
IMPORTANT...
BY SAM BRADSHAW
ENGINEERING ASSISTANT FOR
HURON & PERTH COUNTIES
Most of us realize a very
important part of our ventilation
system is the air inlet. What’s new
in inlets? In the past, we have
struggled with manually adjust
able inlets or ones adjusted with a
winch system. At best, we could set
them properly fifty percent of the
time. Automatic static controlled
inlets work fine but tend to be
costly.
and “vacuum” or static pressure
increases in the barn, the inlet
opens. This inlet has to be set
properly when installed; but then
will operate automatically. If you
build it yourself, total costs will be
around S3-S4 per lineal foot. If your
barn is sealed fairly tightly,, and
you want an inlet that will circulate
air where YOU want it to, call
482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170, or
drop in at the OM AF Office for a
plan.

Some time ago, a farmer came
up with a new design. This inlet is
simple, economical and very effec
tive. It consists of a baffle board,
counterbalanced with weights.
The weights close the inlet when no
fans are running. As fans start up.
