Picston Shottle 8/2008

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Picston Shottle had another big increase for this “once in a decade” bull. There are very few people that will say anything negative about the Shottle daughters. The biggest question is if the computer has it accounted for, that he got used on the better cows because he was so expensive an allocated. Therefore the daughters are in the herds that may be taking better care that average of the daughters. In my mind this would affect the actual score and actual productionlevel of the daughters, but probably not the PTA’s. If the Shottle daughters are in the better herds, they are probably competing against the Goldwyns, Stormatics, Outsides and daughters of the other higher priced and better bulls. Anyway, Shottle added almost 4000 new daughters and now has7901 in 2592 herds. 11% are in the US. He has 3751 classified that of those classified in the US average 82.9-85.9 age adjusted. The linear does not indicate any weakneww in any trait and I don’t know anywhere to tell you to protect him. D.P.R. has gone down as well as P.L. but I suspect thathas more to do with a very high % of the Shottles getting flushed and not bred back compared to there contemporaries. Mtoto has been the best bull of the breed for Somatic Cell Score and Shottle is the only Mtoto son in th etop 50. With the price that he is and will be for some time to come, I highly recomend picking out several of the best Shottle sons and getting the Shottle blood in your herd that way. Richard Mellinger

Healthy Diet Demands Dairy Daily

Monday, February 18th, 2008

The role of dairy foods is more crucial than ever as most Americans today are not getting enough calcium in their daily diets, putting them at risk for disease.

* Nearly 9 out of 10 teenage girls fail to get enough calcium in their diets.

* Almost 7 out of 10 teenage boys don’t meet daily calcium recommendations.

*About three-fourths of Americans (or about 75% do not get enough clacium in their diets).

Kids are in a calcium crisis- they need more milk more often. No matter what your age, the calcium that comes from milk and dairy products is an essential part of promoting good health as well as good bone development and maintenance.
