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.
The first registered cattle
brand in northern California
was recorded for Samuel
Jackson at Nearby Edgewood
in 1852. A grandson of the
original Samuel Jackson,
Samuel C. Jackson, Siskiyou
resolutions committee and a
member of the legislative
committe. David Lowry, Tal

the research and scholarship
committee and a member of

county supervisor, still runs
cattle on the same range as
did the Samuel Jackson of
more than 100 years ago.
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

one has but to drive through
bhasta valley to see the num
bers of cattle. 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

Black Angus, although scat

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

many others. All prefer the j
cattle business to any other.

study all the angles as much
as a fruit grower. 11 is a
highly competitive business
and those who remain must
keep abreast-of the times.
