MRS. JERRY BROSNAN came to Morrow county as a school teacher in 1935 and married Brosnan
the following year. Her husband has just been chosen for Morrow County Livestockman of tlia
vear honors. Photo of the couple was taken in the living room of their home on Little Butter
Creek. (G-T Photo)

beginning of the bre e d i n g
season.
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

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.
