Warrens Send 2 Bulls To National Test Plan Scott and Zepha Warren, Al goma Angus breeders, have . taken another Important step in : their program to produce more ; efficient beef cattle. They re ; cently sent two of their March ; bull calves to a national bull testing station located at Forak er, Okla. At tliij national bull testing station there will be bulls of various breeds from 28 ' other states. They will all be cared for under a uniform feed ing program which is under the supervision of the Performance Registry International. The bulls will be tested for rale of gain, feed efficiency and confirmation scores will be applied to them. In order for the bulls to meet the requirements for entry into '. this testing station it was neces '. fary that tlie herd from which ; they came belonged In t h e ; Performance Registry Interna ; tional testing program or the ; state Beef Herd Improvement Association of their respective - state. In addition, the bull must have attained a weight equal ' to 2.1 pounds for each day of age at the time of entry into the testing station. In addition, he must have graded 2 minus . or better. According to Ray Petersen who does the official weighing and grading of the Warren herd ' for. the Production Registry In ' tcrnationnl, these bulls exceed : ed the minimum requirements : considerably. One of the bulls, ; Algoma Bardoliermcre 57, had. an adjusted 205 day weight of 609 pounds. Algoma Bardolier mcre 3l(i5 had an adjusted 205 day weight of 616 pounds. Both bulls graded a 1 minus. On tlie date the cattle were shipped the first mentioned bull weighed 700 Calf Vaccination Plan To Be Halfed Dec. 31 ' Tlie federal - state oavmcnls for brucellosis calf-vaccinations will come to a screeching halt throughout Oregon on Dec. 31. After that date cattle owners will have to foot tile bill for " vaccination. This word was released Frl . day KDec. .131 by the State Department of Agriculture fast ; on tlie heels of announcement four days earlier that vaccina i tlons would continue throughout I Oregon "ior the foreseeable tu X ture."

"These lights give protection ; against theft, prowlers and dog ; packs and wc know that cattle - don't spook so easily In a lighted Mot. "We save limo and work re ceiving and shipping cattle at ; ter dark, and It makes It a lot easier to feed when winter months cut down on daylight . hours. "Maybe, loo, ue'll come up with some statistics on what ' lights will do to help make ; more gain. It seems reasonable that cattle particularly timid ones that get crowded out part of the time will be encouraged to feed more and gain more when pens and feed bunks are lighted."

TU 2-3461 pounds at 231 days or slightly over 3 pounds per day of age and the second bull weighed 670 pounds at 224 days or almost 3 pounds per day of age. Two other breeders from this area are known to have entered bulls in this test. Dick Wayman, Bend, Ore., entered two Here ford bulls and Al iMatsen of Bickleton, Wash., entered two Aberdeen Angus bvMs. All six bulls were shipped to the sta tion together in one truck. Scott Warren stated. "We were anxious to enter some of the bulls from our herd in this test to see how lliey would com pare with bulls from other herds in the United States that are following a herd improvement program." Other beef cattle improvement associations similar to the Ore gon Association are affiliated with Production Registry Inter national and arc all working to ward increasing the rate of gain and the confirmation of their beef catilc. The Oregon Beef Improvement Association is making plans to establish a bull testing station at Oregon Sttate University. When completed tlie use of the station will be available to any recog nized bcof breed for both per formance and progeny testing. Those using the station will be expected to participate in the association program. The bulls were delivered to the Foraker, Okla., testing sta tion on Nov. 10 and will be fed a uniform ration and the offi cial testa will start on Dec. 10. The test will end on June 9 wlien a sale will be conducted by Production Registry International. Dr. Glenn B. Ilea, elate vet erinarian, said he had just been advised by Dr. A. G. Beagle, federal veterinarian in charge in Oregon, of word from Wash ington of a $30,000 cut in fed eral funds for fee services in Oregon. This put the ax in plans to continue vaccination on a fee basis. Only four days earlier, Dec. 9, Dr. Beagle had advised a joint mect'uiR of t h e State Brucellosis Advisory Committee and the State Board of Live stock Auction (Markets that the federal government could con tinue vaccination statewide. After the Oct. 15 cuts in State Department of Agriculture budget, the slate had to cut off payments for vaccination on Nov. JS jnd at that time a Dec. 15 cutoff of federal payments was announced. The short-lived hope that the program could be continued alt er that lime came after the fed eral program heads restudicd their funds then available. This resulted in tlie state decision to continue testing payments and the federal to continue vacci nation payments. Then came word from Washington of $30,000 less for Oregon and (he final cutoff. The slate-federal program will continue to supply (Brucella vac cine, as previously, under agree ment between practicing vet erinarians and the Moral-state program officials.
