THE BATTALION Friday, May 20, 1960 College Station, Texas Page 3 Attendance Good At Angns Meet Texas cattlemen turned out in force for the recent sixth annual American Angus Conference. The meeting was attended by nearly 400 cattlemen from 30 states. Theme of the conference was “Pac ing Progress for Greater Profit.” Featured among thh 21 speakers at the meeting were a number of Texans. On a panel discussion of merchandising Angus in the South west were Herman Allen, an Angus breeder at Menard, and Milt Miller, field representative for the Amer ican Angus Assn, in the Southwest. Panel moderator was T. Brooks Porter, last year’s Texas Angus Assn, president from Austin. The Texas Angus breeders treat ed the guests to an Angus beef barbecue and dance on the first evening of the conference. The state-wide group sponsored the event with the American Angus Assn. L. D. Wythe of the Department of Animal Husbandry was in charge of a discussion of the re sults of a sire progeny test. Four groups of feeder calves were sent to the College a few months ago from several Angus herds. Each group of four steers was sired by one bull. The steers were fed to slaughter grade and their car casses analyzed. Wythe showed a rib steak from one of the steers in each progeny group and also exhibited color slides of the steers as feeder calves, as fed steers, as carcasses and in addition had photos of the wholesale ribs. Dr. A. M. Sorensen, also of the Department of Animal Husbandry, presented a talk entitled “Dry Cows Are for the Rich.” He com pared the varying costs of produc ing a pound of live beef in rela tion to the weight of the calves per cow and also depending on the number of calves weaned per 100 cows. Sorensen explained: “Assume it costs $70 to keep a cow one year. If you get a 90 per cent calf crop and the calves average 450 pounds at weaning you are only producing 405 pounds of live beef per cow. If the percentage drops to 80 per cent you’re getting only 360 pounds of marketable calf per cow and at 70 per cent it is 315 pounds.” His explanation further showed the effect of calf crop percentage on the cost of producing a pound of beef on the hoof. “It cost you 17.2(f per pound to produce 405 pounds of calf (based on a 90 per cent calf crop) compared to 19.4^ for 360 pounds per cow, and 22.2^ per pound if your calf crop is only 70 per cent,” he remarked. Louis P. Merrill, an Angus breeder at Midlothian, explained how he successfully uses herd classification in his purebred An gus herd, especially in combina tion with production testing. Herd classification is a service provided Angus breeders by their national association for rating breeding animals in their herds. Use of the program results in obtaining offi- ,cial scores given by the associa tion’s classifiers. These men rate the animals in comparison with the “Ideal” for the breed, not with any other animal. New Mrs. Texas Crowned Mrs. Seale T. (Betty) Cutbirth of Brownwood, an attractive and talented mother of four children was named in Dallas the new Mrs. Texas, the state’s number one homemaker.
