By Mertyn Robinson “The future of the cattle indus try is entangling with salmon is sues,” said Sharon Beck, president of the Oregon Cattlemen's Asso ciation (OCA). Beck spoke to members of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Association during their annual meeting on Dec. 10 at the Heppner Elks Lodge. There are fewer salmon com ing back up the rivers, she said, and the salmon future is the big gest nightmare facing the indus try. Natural resource industries are blamed for environmental is sues. Science and economics need to be brought back into the debate, she said. The alternative will be no cattle grazing on public lands. There is a corruption of values CwERATtm I nc , and Fabric's Etc, 12 years. Stop by and see if we an serve you even better in 1999. We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

The OCA is the insulation be tween ranchers and legislation to help people stay in the business. “Lawyers are killing us,” Beck said, “and there is strong influence from slovenly or biased media re porting.” Ranchers continue to be good stewards of the land, Beck said. They are using the best technol ogy available for conservation. What ranchers are doing now not only benefits the ranching indus try, but preserves the natural val ues of this world for everyone’s enjoyment, Beck concluded. The afternoon session of this annual meeting was devoted to industry issues and the latest tech nology. Speakers besides Beck included OCA vice president Glen Stonebnnk; Jim Males of the Or egon State University Animal Sci ence Dept.; and Bill Gover from Beef Northwest. Around 77 ranchers and related businesses are members of the county-wide organization that ad dresses industry issues, promotes beef consumption and provides education. Through the years, this group has managed the 4-H and FFA livestock sale held during the Morrow County Fair. Money was donated towards the new livestock building at the fairgrounds. A fund of about $5,000 is earmarked spe cifically for fairgrounds improve ments. Members approved the donations of one-half of a cut and wrapped beef to the 1999 Mor row County Fair and Rodeo Court. Court members plan to use the proceeds from a raffle to offset court expenses. Directors elected to three year terms on the board include Matt Clark, Monte Evans, Bill Gover and Kyle Robinson. Other board members are Jean Bennett, Bill Broderick, Kevin Hughes, Joe McElligott, Dave Riekkola, Mark Rietmann, Bill Van Schoiack and Pam Wunderlich.
