A few year;; ago average weaning weight for calves was 4G0 pounds, and this has crept up to 480 pounds in 19G3. Steer calves averaged 497 pounds when delivered to the Steens feedlot last week and the heif ers 458 pounds with 30 of the top heifers removed. This was the highest average weight achieved by the Brosnans except for one year when they were one pound heavier. Heifer calves are vaccinated for brucellosis, and at this time approximately three-fourths of the herd is vaccinated. A bruc ellosis test is run every two years. Calving is done on the range to keep away from disease and the adequate sheds are used only it the weather gets too cold. Disease has not been a problem in this herd. Kegular vaccinat ion for black leg, malignant edema and shipping fever is made.A top battery of bulls is given much of the credit for the excellent type calves weaned from the cows. Bulls are selected from top registered breeders that have kept good performance records. Jeremiah Brosnan, who worked his way westward after landing in the United States from Ire land, witnessed in Ogden, Utah, the driving of the Golden Spike that completed the first cross country rairoad. After working for Hugh Fields, rancher, at Bucks Corners, he found the site at Little Butter Creek that he liked and first engaged in rais ing horses. With the coming of the Boer War, agents of the English gov ernment came through the coun try purchasing horses and most of Brosnan's stock were sold for that military purpose. Cattle have dominated the ranch since that time although Jerry's father, John Brosnan, ran two or three thousand head of sheep starting in 1928. A flcok of sheep was maintained, in ad dition to the cattle, until two years ago. The present Jerry Brosnan, whose nickname stems from "Gerald," as contrasted with the "Jerry" for his grandfat her, which stemmed from "Jere miah," was born on the ranch and has remained right there. His longest absence was three months when he went to Mon tana to herd sheep on one oc casion. His affection for the Butter Creek place was expressed elo quently when he said, "I was damn glad to get back!" John Brosnan, his father, was born, raised and died on the ranch. He was born in 1885 and died November 19, 1952. Jerry's mother, Zetta Brosnan, who lives alone in a home just Complete line of PIElSOrJALIZED for ANNIVERSARIES, COFFEE TIME, WELCOME, OTHERS FOR ANY OCCASION Also: Personalized Wedding and Guest Books, Match Boohs THE GAZETTE -TIMES a short distance down the road from Jerry and his family, is a Heppner native whose maiden name was Zetta Hager. She is a first cousin of Mrs. A. D. Mc Murdo and the late J. O. Hager, justice of the peace here for many years. Zetta, now 75, has the same love for Little Butter Creek as the rest of the family. She oc casionally comes to town for the winter, but much prefers staying on the ranch and is always anx ious to get back where she has "room to breathe." Jerry's wife, Marian, is a na tive of Monmouth and went to the normal school there (now Oregon College). When she qualified as a teacher she ac cepted a position at the Lena school. Never having been here before, she found that there was no public transportation beyond Arlington when she made the trip in September, 1935. She finally hired someone to take her to Heppner and when she arrived she had just a dollar left in her purse. Looking at the unfamiliar landscape upon ar rival, it would have taken very little for her to turn around and go home. But she found fine friends in John and Zetta Brosnan and family at whose home she board ed, and the friendship with Jerry culminated in their marriage in Hermiston in March, 1936. Eddie continues the family tradition, and at 25 shows little inclination to leave the home place and remains as a partner with his father while brother Dan, 20, is an airman second class with the Air Force and John, 26, handles the Carlson op erations. A fourth child is a daughter, Mrs. Dick (Joann) Rboison, 23, of Heppner. All are graduates of Heppner High school. John attended the University of Oregon for a time and then went to California Polytechnic at San Luis Obispo. Joann attended two terms at Oregon State University before her marriage. She and Dick have a son, Craig, two years of age. Mrs. Robison was valedictor ian of the Heppner High school class of 1358 and received the Soroptimist club scholarship for her college attendance. While in high school she also won the United Nations Pilgrimage, spon sored by the Odd Fellows. All three boys were athletes in high school and were partic ularly interested in fooiball. Eddie was chosen for the Shrine All-Star team. They were all ac tive in 4-H and FFA, and Eddie, with Ron Currin and Jack Mon agle, was on the top livestock judging team at the Pacific In ternational show one year, first time in histroy that this honor had come to Morrow county. Competition was against teams of 11 western states. The next year, with Dean Graves taking Monagle's place, they went back and won again. Eddie's name will be found occasionally, too, among com petitors at rodeos. He won the junior calf roping in the Mor row county rodeo one year. Dan has enlisted for four years in the Air Force and has served more than two years, having trained at Shreeveport, La. He went to Japan in May of this year. John served a 2-vear hitch in the army and Eddie is a member of the National Guard, his longest time away from home being the six months that he served in training last vear. While Jerry has chosen to stay with the home place to earn his living and raise his family, his brother, Joe, and sister, Mrs. Margaret Williams, followed dif ferent courses. Joe, who has been recovering from a serious auto mobile accident that occurred just north of lone early this vear, is in Portland where he is a representative of the Kraft Chrese Co. He suffered a stroke earlier this month and has been incapacitated from this and in juries from the accident. Mrs. Williams lives in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Mr. and Mrs. Brosnan have been active in county and com munity activities. Each has served as a 411 leader. They are members of St. Patrick's Cath olic church and of the Livestock Growers association. Marian has never qui e left the school teach ing profession despite her role as ranch wife and mother, bhe still does substitute teaching in the Morrow county system from time to time. Now concentrating on cattle, there is little other livestock on the Brosnan ranch. They have one milk cow and two or three hogs for meat. Chickens were dis posed of when "the coons got too bad." They enjoy the peace and quiet of ranch life, and this is interrupted only during hunt ing season. "I never say so many hunters in my life as I did this year," Jerry said. The pleasure and satisfaction that they take in the continued development of their ranch, range management and improvement of their live stock, are reflected in the effic ient operation that they have.
