SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE FTVE Judge Crew Named For Bull Sale RED BLUFF Exports who will judge and grade the 375 lop boot sires to be sold at the nation's largest sale of selected and grad ed bulls held annually at It e d Bluff have been selected, Abner McKenzie, Tehama County cattle man and Bull bale committeeman stated recently. Heading the group of three is Reuben Albaugh, extension special ist in Animal Husbandry of the University of California, who has served lor more than 10 years McKenzie said. Other members of the three man committee arc George Hunt, man ager of the Hunt Estate in Shasta County and considered one of Cali fornia's most successful commer cial cattlemen, and Harry Parker of the Diamond Ranch in San I.uis Obispo, a registered Hereford breeder of national renown. The three will place and grade 300 service age Hereford bulls on Thursday, February 5 and 75 Short horns and Angus on Friday morn ing, February 6. McKenzie said that the Red Bluff Sale is sponsored by a group of Tehama County commercial eef producers and that it has featured the sale of "Red Bluff Type" beef bulls now recognized by cattlemen throughout the West. "The Red Bluff Type" bull, ac cording to the committeeman is a ranch selected service age bull with ample size for age, which is checked for soundness and judged and graded for quality. Since the event was initiated in 1942, 4,691 high quality bulls have been sold to more than 875 cattlemen in all western states and 52 of the 58 California counties Demand For Lean Meat Is Change Cause Food shoppers preference for lean, red meat is working grad ual changes in the "finishing" and marketing of beef animals, says an Oregon State College extension livestock marketing specialist. W. Y. Fowler points out that fat meat has become a drug on the market. Food retailers are primar ily interested in the percentage of salable red meat or trimmed re tail cuts, he adds. The marketing specialist says the new trend for lean meats has run headlong into the tradition of buying and selling cattle carcass es on the basis of "dressing per centage" which gives equal value to salable meat and fat. Since retailers and consumers pay the final bill, livestockmen and packers are keeping a close watch on market demands. The trend is already bringing major changes in the swine industry where an effort is being made to develop meat type hogs and to emphasize trimmed retail cuts. Following are a few suggestions aimed at profitable "feeding out" of beef cattle to meet new mar ket demands: Where grass and silage are to be fed, stay away Irom nignor feeder grades that won't return enough as fat cattle to justify the initial expense. For heavy feeding of grain, se lect the higher feeder grades that r.in rarrv the finish. Don't overfeed. Sell individual animals from the feedlot or range as soon as they're ready for mar ket. Keep in touch with the commis sion man or buyer to learn how your cattle are "cutting out" and seek opinions from the packer on how quality of your cattle might be improved.
