“HOLSTEIN SETS NEW CANADIAN RECORD

.

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.

Once again the shortage of
numbers played into hands of
the selling side. 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.
