Georgia Is Becoming
Major Cattle State
By: Walter H. Rucker
Georgia, already prominent
in many areas, is fast gaining
prominence in another —live
stock.
Comes now the American
Polled Hereford Association to
help the state along in this
direction.
The Associations is holding
its 47th annual national show and
sale in Georgia. The event is sc
heduled for December 11-13 at
Southeastern farigrounds in At
lanta.
Now, this is not just another
cattle show. Association lea
ders say the 509 head of cat
tle to be exhibited make this
the largest single beef-breed
cattle show in the world. They
further assert that the $21,000
in premiums is the highest of
any livestock show in the world.
An estimated 5,000 persons are
expected at attend.
Judging will start at 8 o’clock
Thursday morning, Dec. 11. St
eers and females will be jud
ged first. Bulls will be judged
at 8 a.m. Friday. Selection
of the national grand champion
bull, the climax of the entire
show, will come sometime be
tween noon and 1 p.m. Judging
of group classes will follow this.
This sale will begin at 9
o’clock Saturday morning, with
the high selling bull likely be
ing auctioned off between 9 and
10.
Anyone who loves the fine cat
tle will want to look in on this
event. Ninety-six herds from 27
states and Canada will be re
presented. We are proud of the
fact that ten Georgia herds
will have entries in this show.
PURCHASED CATTLE
I recently joined other county
agents in the state in making
a survey of Georgia's beef in
dustry. Our figures indicate
there are about 210,000 cattle
on some type of growing, de
veloping or finishing program
on the way to becoming finis
hed slaughter animals. A lot
of our fed cattle are home ra-
ised, but most of them are pur
chased.
Our Extension animal scient
ists say the handling, or mana
gement, of newly purchased cat
tle might well be the difference
between profit and loss. For
example, a death loss of four
or five percent couldeasily wipe
out any expected profit on the
rest of the cattle. So manage
ment of new cattle is very im
portant.
The most critical stage in
feeding cattle is during the
first three to four weeks they
are on the farm. It is during
this time that many losses may
be prevented.
Upon arrival at the farm,
cattle need essentially four
things: rest, adequate feed, fr
esh water and observation.
Animal scientists say obser
vation may be the most impor
tant of these. They point out
that it is hard t o observe
15 to 20 calves turned loose in
a 100-acre field. The observa
tion lot needs to be small en
ough so you can find and ob
serve the cattle easily. The
lot will needfresh water, shade,
and a small corral for handling
the cattle if this becomes nec
essary.
Volunteers
Are Needed
More volunteers are needed
for the Mothers March which
will take place in early Feb
ruary of 1970, according to
Charles Ingram, Chapter Cam
paign Director.
Chairmen for various areas
have now been selected and they
are as follows: Charlotte Shoe
make, Mothers’ March Chair
man; Ernestine Ivey, Mailers
Chairman; Robert Robertson,
Business and Industry Chair
man and Judy Skinner and Re
becca Mcßrayer, Co-Chairmen
for the Teen Group.
Ingram asks that volunteers
get in touch with these people
or call him during the day at
887-3165 and atnight, 887-6222.
The March will benefit re
search and rehabilitation areas
involving birth defects.
