From THE LEIGH (NE.) WORLD, March 11, 1949-
Marvin Weber, a member of the Platte Valley Dairy Herd Improvement Association, had the highest rating herd in butterfat production among all dairy herd improvement association members in Nebraska for February. Mr. Weber was tops in group 2 which calls for 16 or more cows milked twice a day. He has 21 cows which averaged 1,355 pounds of milk and 47.2 pounds of butterfat. Last year his average was 372 pounds of butterfat.
Mr. Weber became actively interested in dairy work while in California where he spent four years in a large dairy there. He helped feed and milk some 300 cows twice daily. Having taken over his fathers farm in recent years, he has continued to keep up his dairy interests and is now selling fresh cooled milk to Roberts Dairy in Lincoln.
His herd is of a good strain of Holsteins, having acquired some registered stock to build up his herd. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
