McKINNEY Siskiyou County Correspondent Gazelle, in central Siskiyou county, is a modest, unassum ing little town. However, it is becoming known as the cow capital of the world. There are 70,000 head of beef cattle in Siskiyou county. Fully half of that number arc in Shasta valley. A conserva tive estimate is 30.000 head. An additional 2,500 hcaj of dairy stock also grazi there. And Shasta valley is less than 30 miles long from where II starts at the Mt. Eddy range to where it loses itself in the Klamath river. Plenty of cheap, available water, rich volcanic ash soil, and a mild climate for so far north, early cattle industry development, plus a band of dedicated cowmen shoved It along.

Forerunner of the present Foulke cattle company at Gazelle was the Edson com pany which registered a brand in 1854. This holding changed to Edson and Foulke com pany, and to the present Foulke cattle industry. The change was slight and grad ual. The region must have been a famous prc-historic grazing empire long before the Jack sons and Foulkcs came. Scien tists have found remains of mastodons near Gazelle that roamed the valley so many years ago it is difficult to fix a time. Of course, they didn't carry a registered brand. John Cavanaugh, early-day settler at Edgewood, was the first exponent of fine cattle in Shasta valley. He ran to Durhams. But it remained for the late A. B. Hoy to establish the first registered herd. The Hoy Hereford ranch near Edgewood caters to fine blood lines and superior cattle. It was established in 1920 and is managed by a son, Eldon Hoy, who was raised in the beef industry, Eldon Hoy said he had to bulldog a steer before his fa ther would let hlin shave, or New... from , , the rr the magnificent t Superb performance from Portable TV Full-transformer-powered "console" chassis for greater reliability.

On the Valen tine ranch nrar Big Springs more than 1,0110 head. Other ranches have nearly as many and every ranch has a few "cows." A drive out among the junipers growing up between lava rocks, one ! sees the white faces of Here-1 ford, or the stubby bulk of Black Angus, although scat tered. Among forward looking cowmen who cater to good stock arc: Frank Day, Jess Martin, Leonard Shelley, the ( Fiocks, and Longs in Little Shasta; Ralston, Gigcr, Hcssig, j and others around Grenada. They make this Shasta Valley j town a cow center. Morris Plainer has long been identi fied with beef cattle as have 1 many others. All prefer the j cattle business to any other. The old saw that one can always tell a cowman - but you can't tell him much, docs i not hold true.
