Thtire Is good money In dairying
in Crook county and several duiry
men are proving this to their own'
Kntiufiiction. The greatest trouble
with tho majority of men owning
cows m that they have Interior
producers. There are too many
who are willing and even eager to
purchase the cow or heifer for t40
or ,$00 without first testing the
animal or knowing her ability for
butter-fat production. There are
too few who are billing to pay
100 to f 500 for profitable animals.
There ore also too few who insist
upon a thorough test of the animal,
both for milk and butter produc
tion, and for tuberculosis before
they purchase the animal. The
1200 cow that will net a profit of
from five to ten dollars per month
is much more profitable than the
forty or sixty dollar animals which
we must pay to stay on our farms.
In manv instances, we would make
money by simply shooting the ani
mal and burying her. And in
many Instances, an animal which
we may consider a poor producer in
our herd, is the one profitable' ani
mal we may have-
Very few of the farmers in this
section have the cash or can afford j.
the credit to pay $150 to $300 for a 1
cow. Many already have fairly !
good animals and can in a very few !
years more than double the profit
they may obtain from the same!
number of animals in their herd by
the use of a good, pure-bred bull
from a productive family. It has
been found that the bull transmits'
the characteristics of the mother
and grandmothers to a decided dc-j
gree, so that in the purchase of an :
animal it is absolutely necessary
that we know the production of the
animal's family. The bull with a
pedigree as long as vour arm may i
be a very poor individual and un-'
worthy of use in a herd. Always
look for the production of his j
family, for there are many very
poor individuals pure-bred and
registered. If many of our dairy
men in this section were asked
$200 to $300 for a bull, they would
feel that they could not purchase
the animal, and yet it is necessary
to pay this price usually for a
really good animal.
Bull Associations have been or
ganized in many sections of the
country and even in many sections
of Oregon. These organizations
consist of four to ten farmers who
purchase the bull, each man paying
according to the number of cows he
has- An agreement is drawn up
regulating the use of the animal,
and stating the service fee and
other conditions regulating the
association. The animal is kept at
one farm and service fee charged
sufficient to cover the expenses of
his care. , If one or more associa
tions are organized in one-section
or one county, the animal pur
chased by each association is used
for two years and then the differ
ent associations trade animals.
With four or five such associations
in Crook county, we might obtain
at comparatively little expense to
each individual, enough good ani
mals to last us from eight to ten
years, practically the life of the
animal. In this case, it would be
necessary that some of us forget
our prejudices regarding other
breeds than our own, and agree to
use some other breed. Dollars and
cents, and not imagination or senti
ment, should determine the breed
we will keep. If Crook county
dairymen could agree upon one
breed of dairy cattle and work for
the greatest improvement of this
herd, it would be noted for its
dairy cattle and buyers would be
visiting our section for the pur
chaw of dairy animals, no matter
what breed we might sell. The
eheapwt and most reasonable
method for our use in attaining
thij end is the organization of Bull
Associations.
The Agricultural College has is
sued a bulletin which gives details
for such organizations, and I shall
be glad to cooperate with any In
the county who are interested in
this line of work. A. E. Lovett,
County Agriculturist.
