We know that there Is a scatter-

to be on the lookout for this

It was Interesting to note the

month of June. Those reporting
rainfall to the office are Ray

1.22 Inches; Louis Car'son, also

With many of our beef grow
ers thinking about the price of
weaner calves and a good market
for them this fall, an article
came to me a few days ago
which I will pass along. While
this story came out of Oklahoma
there were questions of this exact
nature asked last fall In Morrow
county. It is a queition that
many more will be asking as
they upgrade their cow herd,
selecting the mothers that turn
ed off heavy calves when mated
to a particular sire. I don't know
if tha story answers the question
but it Is interesting.
A story out of Oklahoma has
