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.

In jorder to make the earlier

of good feeding after calving to

time the business of the league
is discussed. Displays of the
