Oscar Wakefield Dies Oscar Wakefield, son of a pio neer Morrow county family, died September 27 In Madiera, Calif., according to word received here from his brother Roy Wakefield who lives In Sheridan. Mr, Wakefield has been residing In a rest home In Madiera. He was not married. The Wakefield family were early farmers in Clarks Canyon, and Oscar Wakefield returned here for a visit about four years ago. inters r 4 It, i, t I "W A- ,1 - j . ., Clarks are Stock ocKmen Barton and Ned Clark, a fath er and sun combination who ranch 12.000 acres on three plac es with headquarters at the home spread at Ruggs, have been chosen as l'.KUi Livestock Men of the Year In Morrow county. They will be honored next Wednesday evening at the an nual Farm-City banquet, start ing at 7 p.m. in the multipur pose room of Heppner High school. The ranch operation, which traces back through the histo ry of the pioneer Albert Wright family, was developed by Ray Wright from 1913 until the Clarks leased It from htm in l!Hi2. At the same time the three bought part of the ranch from the Anson Wright estate, a por tion of some 2300 acres. One of the reasons for the selection of the Clarks as Live, stock Men of the Year was the work they have been doing in Improving their cattle herd, tak ing the lead with artificial In semination, freeze branding and other methods. Their cattle herd consists of some 42U cows ana lb nulls with about 75 heifers kept this year for replacements. The cat tle are run as two separate groups except during calving time when tliey are brought to the home ranch. Share Forest Allotment The Clarks share a National Forest allotment of 24.000 acres around Bull Prairie with Walter Wright, and their share is 160 cow-calf units. This group goes from the forest to the "Gilliam place," at the head of Spring Hollow, about eight miles south west of Ruggs. This place con sists of 2,000 acres and is usd for both spring and fall pasture. The rest of the herd spends most of the year at the "Rob inson place" of about 6000 acres, located southwest of Hardman on the middle fork of Rhae Creek. Eighty acres of this ranch extends Into Gilliam county. The cattle are brought to the home place for calving. This ranch comprises the former Lo tus Robinson place and the George McDonald place which Ray Wright purchased years ago. Although the ranch Is now a cow-calf operation, it hasn't al ways been that way. UntlJ 1947 48, the steers were kept' to be sold us 2-year-olds. Then, be cause buyers became critical when the animals started get ting too heavy, the ranchers started selling them as year lings. In 1963, the Clarks switched to a cow-calf system because even their yearlings were too heavy. At the present time they are working towards moving their calving date earlier, to January and February, and then plan on weaning earlier. Top end of calves delivered last fall was 580 pounds. . . rr - 27, 1966 info Home Stretch . f I '- r - A' St ft . ... ; . --. -z-- " ; ,'--f - . . (G-T Photo).
