A new record for lifetime milk production has been set by this Holstein cow, Glenkindie Opal Posch, She has produced 228,455 pounds of milk containing 7,450 pounds of fat. This is enough to provide an average family with enough milk, two quarts a day, for 125 years. Her owner, E. L. Anderson of Campbellford. Ont., credits much of Opal’s performance tn the loving care she receives from his daughter Linda.

As has been the ease for a long time, the most stabilizing factor is that numbers at market points have been far short of demand. Midwestern markets have shown far more strength than for any other part of the country. Despite the fact that this is ordinarily a time when meat demand should be slow, the market for cattle and also other classes of red meats has moved higher because of lack of supplies. As the market moved forward, new top prices were reported in all areas on top grade steers. Chicago had a high of 37.50 on prime steers, and up to 37.75 was paid at Omaha. A load of choice steers made 29.75 at Los \ngeles, the best price paid at «ny time in the area since 1952 Buying has been at such a strong pace so far this spring that it is now estimated that better than’ 75 percent of the California grass cattle are now sold or under contract, and the bulk will not be delivered until April 1 or later.
