Russian Croup
To View
A&M Herds
Three members of the Ptus-
sian group which has been
touring north and middle
western U.S. farming areas
will visit A&M soon.
According to information from
D. A. (Andy) Adam, administra
tive assistant for foreign pro
grams, Texas Agricultural Exten
sion Service, the group will be in
San Antonio Thursday to buy 40
or more head of Santa Gertrudis
cattle.
After they buy the cattle they
will come to A&M to see the col
lege hei'ds and to talk with staff
members. While here they will
plan the next phase of their tour,
to see hereford and shorthorn cat
tle.
This visit is a result of the re
cent flying trip which Vladimir W.
Matskevich, first deputy minister
of agriculture for the U.S.S.R.,
made to Texas recently. He was
particularly impressed with the
Santa Gertrudis breed, which was
developed by King Ranch and is
the only breed of beef cattle to be
developed completely in America.
In the party which will visit the
campus ai'e: Youri Golubash, live
stock specialist with the group;
Dimitri Kostuchin, commercial
counselor to the Russian embassy
in Washington, and Georgi Bolsh
akov of TASS news agency.
The group was met in San An
tonio by a delegation headed by
Bob Briggs, San Antonio contrac
tor and vice-president of the San
ta Gertrudis Breeders’ Internation
al, and R. P. Marshall of Kings
ville, t-xeeutive secretary for the
same organization.
