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.
She is shown being- crowned by last year’s winner, Mrs.
Herbert S. Beard of Austin, at right. Mrs. Cutbirth will
represent Texas at the national Mrs. America competition
to be held June 2-14 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
