Reports on Livestock Scheduled by Planning Council
Those attending the Jackson
county planning council meeting
in the courthouse auditorium to
day were to hear reports and
recommendations from commit
tees on dairy, beef cattle, poul
try, sheep, swine and miscel
laneous livestock.
The committees have been
studying these phases of agricul
ture in the county since October.
The dairy committee stated in
its report that surplus milk and
other manufacturing of milk is
the most serious problem of the
industry. Suggested solutions in
clude requiring that all milk
meet sanitary requirements for
Grade A, which would necessi
tate changes in sanitary laws to
some degree.
Minimum Requirements
Another plan would call for
minimum requirements for
buildings and equipment, but
would place more emphasis on
bacteria count, sediment and
temperature of the milk as it ar
rives at the market. This plan
would put more emphasis on
care and sanitation in production
than on buildings and equip
ment. Members of the committee
recommended that producers
and distributors work together
to educate consumers to advan
tages of using locally produced
milk. The committee has con
cluded that the quota system as
used on local markets is the best
method now known and recom
mends that it be continued.
It vtas also recommended that
the dairy industry consider
means of increasing the price of
factory milk to the producer and
that producers consider the pos
sibility of export markets.
Another suggestion was that the
Oregon and California depart
ments of agriculture standardize
requirements for producing
Grade A milk.
Recommends Silos
The committee recommended
that a dairy include at least one
acre of good irrigated pasture
for each cow kept and that the
bunker type self feeding silos
be used. It was also recommend
prt that the minimum herd size
for a one man operation be set
at 40 cows. On larger operations
using a pipeline milker, the com
mittee suggests a 100 cow herd
as a day's work for one milker.
Committee members favored
each dairyman removing from
his herd all cows not producing
enough to be profitable rather
than have the federal govern
ment purchase surplus dairy
products to help stabilize prices.
The committee, recognizing
r. istitis and brucellosis as major
cow diseases in this area, recom
mended use of control methods
advocated by local veterinar
ians. It was also recommended
that in the interest of general
economy, the county court make
its weed spraying equipment
and manpower available at cost
or less to cattleowners who co
operate by organizing their
neighbors so a solid block of cat-
tie can be sprayed on the same
day and by furnishing the Rote
! none for spraying their own
j cattle.
Sanitary Production
, To the state department of
agriculture, the committee rec
ommends a review of laws per
taining to sanitary production of
milk with two aims in mind.
The first aim would be to reduce
as much as practical require
ments of buildings and equip
ments and in its place, put more
stress on milk arriving at the
market low in bacteria, sediment
and temperature. The second
would be to make Oregon laws
more uniform with those of Cal
ifornia. The committee also
urges the department to strictly
enforce laws pertaining to ille
gal sales of milk.
The beef cattle committee rec
ommended that more purebred
herds of beef cattle be developed
in Jackson county with reserva
tions and cautions as to quality
and breeding standards. Closer
relationships between the pure
bred breeder and the range or
commercial cattle operator was
also recommended.
Testing and vaccination were
listed as among the most import
ant disease controls. A commu
nity spray project was suggested
as the most feasible solution to
the heel-fly problem.
Culling Considered
The committee recommended
the following considerations in
culling: type, milking qualities,
age, breeding, kind of calf pro
duced, thriftiness and slow, late
or non-breeders.
For range management im
provement, the committee made
10 recommendations, including
rotated or controlled grazing, re
seeding to an adapted forage
grass all disturbed areas immedi-atel:-
following logging, slash
burn or skid roads and landiitg
yards, encourage and cooperate
with government agencies in re
seeding lands, exploration of
economic methods of brush de
struction and reseeding tech
niques on private lands, and util
ize to the fullest extent commod
ity credit corporation surplus
forage crop seeds.
The committee recommended
that a program of brush and non
edible weed control be encour
aged by using controlled burn
ing, mechanical brush removal
and brush killing chemicals in
spray applications.
Committee members acknowl
edged that marketing is the main
problem of the livestock indus
try. Therefore, it was recom
mended that consignment be disco-raged
since consignment sell
ing of live cattle for slaughter
eliminates bargaining power of
the producer and when enlarged
in scope will tend to destroy
competitive buying. Good mar
keting methods applied to all
classes of cattle is of importance
to all producers of cattle, it was
stated.
Four Problems
The committee on sheep,
swine and miscellaneous live
stock noted four problems facing
sheep producers: . marketing,
parasites and disease, predators
and dogs and buying quality
feeders.
It was recommended that
farmers with sheep pay more at
tention to marketing wool in the
best condition, consistent with
his operation. The committee
does not recommend feeding
lambs to high choice or prime
when it is necessary to purchase
grain and other concentrates to
accomplish this.
It was recommended that
wherever possible, shipments be
pooled to make a truckload and
that when practical the load be
made up of lambs which are uni
form in size and finish.
It was suggested that more ef
fort be expended to encourage
local meat markets to feature
lamb in their retail sales. Com
mittee members said more sheep
could be profitably raised in
Jackson county and these should
be mostly small farm flocks pri
marily aimed at utilizing feed
which might otherwise be wast
ed or marketed inefficiently.
One method of increasing the
number of sheep in the county
would be to make breeding
stock available for 4-H and FFA
projects, the committee said.
Possibility of one of the large
packing companies establishing a
slaughter house either in Jack
son or Klamath county was also
discussed.
Sheep Diseases
Stomach worms, liver fluke
and white muscle were discussed
as major sheep diseases and sev
eral suggestions were made for ,
avoiding these diseases.
Coyotes were noted as a seri
ous problem in many areas of
the county and the committee i
recommended raising bounty
from $5 to $10. If this cannot be
done, the committee recom-!
mends removing the bounty en
tirely and using the money to
hire more professional trappers. 1
Committee members commended
the dog control committee and
the present dog control officer
for efficient and prompt meth
ods used in dealing with dog
problems.
Marketing, high feed costs and
disease and parasites were listed
as important problems related to
swine raising. The committee
acknowledged that prices for fat
hogs in the Medford area aver
age three cents per pound under
prices for the same quality hogs
in Portland.
High feed costs make it desir
able to obtain a source of low
cost feed, the committee stated.
Cooked garbage, bakery waste
and dried pears were suggested
as low cost feed sources. A good
vaccination program and care
ful sanitation were recommend
ed to keep the disease problem
at a minimum.
The committee recommended
that growing of goats be largely
confined to use in clearing brush
and cautioned against fur farm
ing as a hazardous occupation
because of current low prices for
pelts as opposed to high costs of
feeds and labor. The committee
emphazide that those consider
ing investing money in fur ani
mals such as chinchilla and nu
tria investigate the markets for
furs of this type and get infor
mation from 'a disinterested
party.
Poultry committee members
stated that because Oregon is
rapidly approaching the time
when it will produce more eggs
than it will consume, the profit
margin per hen will lessen in
proportion to the surplus supply.
Could Make Success
They noted, however, there is
still an opportunity for an ex
perienced poultryman, soundly
financed, to make a success of a
commercial egg farm, but the
future does not appear too good.
Concerning broilers, the com
mittee said a sideline venture
with retail sales may add to a
family income, but probably
only will net a low return per
hour of labor. With regard to
hatching egg flocks, the commit
tee said there is little opportu
nity for an increase in hatching
egg flocks in the county at the
present time.
Members noted, however, that
profits can still be obtained with
a light breed hatching egg flock
provided a hatchery contract
can be obtained.
The committee named expan-
of turkey breeder hens as
'one bright spot" in local
sion
the
poultry conditions. The needed
investment is high, they said,
but financing is available for ex
perienced operators with good
credit ratings. ' -
