By N. C Anderson
On Friday of last week, John green grass and the good fall we
Landers, extension animal hus
bandman, Oregon State College,
assisted with the annual grading
of the 1955 calf crop at the Frank
Anderson ranch. This program
which is aimed at quality im
provement through selection of
top gaining and high grading
off spring has been carried on by
Anderson for a number of years.
Oregon State college has been as
sisting for the past five years.
Calves are weighed and graded
at weaning, yearling, and one
and half years of age. Through
selection from this improvement
program carried on, the weaning
weight and quality has Increased
each year. A great number of
the calves this year graded two
plus with a few, one-minus
grades. Through the grading
weighing and selection program,
Frank has not only culled his
heifers and cows for his breeding
herd but has found which herd
sires will cross best with various
lines of breeding in his cow herd.
He has constantly strived for the
kind of bulls that will produce
top calves, and only recently with
upgrading his herd purchased a
herd sire from the Wyoming
Hereford Ranch. The herd bull
was purchased at the WIIR pro
duction sale last month and will
be used with the three other herd
sires which Frank has.
had been having until the wea
ther took a sudden change. If
ranchers continue to feed hay
over a long period of time such
as it appears they might have to
do now, hay might become quite
scarce before spring. At the price
of hay, such as it is now, it is
extremely high to feed stock cat
tle. Barley can be bought for
from eight to ten dollars above
hay. It might be advisable for
some ranchers to supplement their
home-grown lesser quality hays
with some of the grain that
might be available. A supplement
of three to four pounds of barley
or similar grain might be cheap
er than expensive legume hay.
One pound of barley can replace
two pounds of hay. Of course
barley cannot replace hay en
tirely in the cow diet, as they
need roughage, but it can re
place a considerable amount of
hay which might, besides being
expensive, be hard to get.
By the looks of the weather out
side, it might be timely to remind
that ice cold water is not for the
birds or cattle either according
to research finding from some of
the colder states. Egg and milk
production are usually higher
when animals get water that has
been slightly warmed. Animals
will drink more water when it is
about forty-five degrees than
whe nit is near freezing. Most
ranches now have electricity
available at various locations
around the farmstead where It
would be easy to hook up small
thermostatically controlled water
warmers for tanks.
Talking about winter, It might
be a long one if the weather con
tinues as we have had it the past
week. Most ranchers were quite
happy about the great amount of
4-H LIVESTOCK PROJECTS
GETS UNDER WAY
4-H Livestock club members in
Morrow county are off to a good
start in the new 4-H club year
and can be proud of this start
when National 4 II Achievement
Day was observed on Saturday,
November 12. Most popular this
fall, is the fat beef project which
has almost doubled last year's
enrollment. Sheep continue to
be a popular project, especially
for younger members and girls.
Swine projects have continued to
grow since the first 411 pig
scramble, sponsored as part of
the county fair. In this pig
.scramble, many boys and girls
get a start through catching a
gilt which is their own. The
gilt or one of its litter is exhibit
ed at the county fair. Those who
got started in the pig business
this year in that manner, were
Tommy Pointer, Bernard Doherty
and Russell Dolven, Lexington;
Roland Ekstrom, lone; Mike
Spike, Echo; Nat Webb, Merlin
Hughes, and Jerry Anderson,
Heppner.
In the fat beef project, sixteen
boys and girls have steers on
feed now for the Oregon Wheat
Growers League sponsored fat
stock show and sale. Those club
members are Joe and Carol Ann
Palmer, Karl Beach, Dennis and
Roger Doherty, Don Casteel, Dan
ny Dardwell, and Russell Dolven
of the Lexington livestock club,
Larry and Robert Campbell and
Billy Doherty of the Butter Creek
Junction livestock club, Gary
Van Blokland and Donald Hughes
of the Heppner livestock club,
Roland Ekstrom, Skip Emert and
Kenneth Smouse of the lone live
stock club. Those who have
steers on feed for fall shows are
Jerry Anderson, Gary Van Brok
land, and Kenneth Wright of the
Heppner livestock club, Bernard
Doherty, Billy Doherty, Sandra
Rhea, Carlene Rhea, Jack Lieual
len, Larry Campbell, of the But
ter Creek Junction club, Skip
Emert and Roland Ekstrom, lone
livestock club, Tommy Martin,
Don Majeske, Don Casteel, Den
nis Doherty and Roger Doherty
of the Lexington livestock club.
Thete continues to be more in
terest in fat beef projects and
appears there will be more mem
bers added, yet this fall.
Those who have enrolled or in
dicated their interest as soon as
their club gets under way for the
new year in sheep projects are
Carl Beach, Jimmy Martin, Tom
my Martin, Danny Wardwell,
