Purebred Stockmen By-pass
Shows in Breeding Program
By CLAUDE ITECSLOFF
That Oregon purebred stockmen are by-passing livestock ahowi
In their breeding program! ia evident at the annual itock ahow
aeason cornea to a close.
Production recordi, progeny aelectioh, bull grading and auction
ales are taking the place o the ehowring Judge in selection of
tud airea and dama.
The original purpoae of fairt
waa to provide a place for trad
ing, and they were important
meant of diatributing fine live
stock in the daya when pure
bred were few in numbers. At
the first Oregon Stat fair John
Minto of Salem told hit prize
Merino ram for 1100. However,
livestock ahowa have more re
cently become chiefly exhibi
tions, very little stock changing
hands during the show.
Survey During Summer
Particularly in dairy cattle,
production recorda are of prime
importance in breeding atock
(election. During the past sum
mer several dairy breed associ
ations held breed classification
field dayt in the Willamette val
ley and a survey was taken of
the points which breedert con
aider most In their selection of
animals to go Into their pure
bred dairy herds. It showed that,
by the average breeder, produc
tion records alone are consider
ed equal in importance to the
total of all other points. Pedi
gree of the animal was valued
at 28 percent; breed classifica
tion rated 17 percent; and show
ring record was given 7 percent
value. Almost half of the breed
era placed no consideration at
all on ahow ring records.
Marion and Polk counties
have long been the home of
world famous Jerseys but they
are shown sparingly. Polk coun
ty Jerseys hold 40 percent of the
world's butterfat records and
five out of the seven highest
tested Jersey sirea were bred in
the county yet no Polk county
breeders competed at either
Oregon State fair or Pacific In
ternational this year. The Mar

Range Men Critical
Several western U.S. range
experiment atations have col
lected data showing there is lit
tle relation between show ring
appearance and cow productiv
ity or rate of gain of their calves.
Progeny selection hat proven
that some fine show animals
produce offspring that are very
inefficient meat producers and
cannot properly utilize feeds on
which less attractive animals
make ample gains.
Range stockmen have long
considered stock show Judging
as Impractical. Bull classifica
tion work in connection with
auction sales in range area Is
rapidly developing as a means of
distributing good sires in the
rang country. At recent range
bull sale in Burns, Harney coun
ty, (6 bulls averaged 1501 per
head, buyer being mostly local
ranchers.
The thowring hat been de
serted for the auction sal by
many of the most successful
purebred sheepmen of the Wil
lamette valley. Rambouillet, the
breed most important in the
sheep economy of the state, was
not even represented at either
the Oregon State fair or Pacific
International thia year. Only
two of the top 10 rams which
sold for an average of $1000 or
more at this year'a national ram
sale, Salt Lake City, had ever
been inside a ahow ring.
Odditie Attract
Some competent livestock ob
servers feel that the final place
of the livestock show will be
educational rather than func
tional. An ever increasing num
ber of city folk need an insight
into where and how their ani
mal food is produced. Thus the
triplet calves, an oddity occur
ring only once In 188.000 mat
Ingt, displayed at the Pacific In,
ternational, were viewed by cu
riout thousands while the out-
atanding thow animals in the
barna were noted by breed fa
miliars only.
Present day showa relate to
that which it pleasing to the
eye, not to economy of produc,
tion or utility of the animal
They are displays of beautiful
animals and serve as a meant
of advertising. The display fca
ture, though not important from
a breeding standpoint, may still
be functional enough to justify
livestock shows.
