Newberry Approves Breeding Program CLEMSON, Jan. 7. — South Carolina dairy farmers are breed ing their l|pws artificially in in creasing numbers, according to R. D. Steer, Clemson extension cooperative marketing specialist. He says November reports show that during that month several breeding association reached new monthly highs for the number of cows bred artificially. Among thesethe lists the Orangeburg As- lon which reported 503 first ^es, the Chester Association reported 325 first services, the Newberry Association which listed 231 first services. He explains that several other asso ciations had just as large per centage of increase but that the total numbers bred were less due to the smaller cow populations. “The increased use of the arti- ficial breeding service for Novem ber not only indicates a general approval of its use and the kind of cows being accrued from stud bulls, but it also indicates a gen eral satisfaction with the concep tion rates being secured,” he states. “Cows bred in November 1956 should calve between August 10 and September 8, 1957, and be ready to produce at their best when milk demands are greatest and during the period when com mercial dairymen are very much interested in building favorable bases for the following season,” he adds.
