The Weight-Krate sorts hogs by Long-term Short and Intermedlate-term weight rather than by size. While unFarm Credit Farm Cret attended, the Weight-Krate weighs hogs
daily and automatically sorts those over a preset weight into a separate pen. The unit is set up in conjunction with the watering system. Each time the animal returns from water it passes through the Weight-Krate where it is weighed and sorted. The scale has a 300 pound capacity and recommended sorting range is between 180 to 240 pounds. The unit has a shut off device which prevents two hogs from being weighed at one time. This new concept in hog handling means a savings in labor, feed, and market docks, the firm says, and heat stress which usually accompanies hand sorting is virtually eliminated.

"Feeds and Nutrition" was authored by Dr. M. E. Ensminger, President of Agriservices Foundation, and Dr. 0 1
Charles G. Olentine, Jr. Like its predecessor, there are both complete g a t
and abridged editions of "Feeds and Nutrition." "Feeds and Nutrition"complete (1,417 pages and 525 w g g
illustrations) covers both the fundamentals of nutrition and the art of livestock feeding, and narrows the gap between nutrition research and application. "Feeds and N utritio n"-abridged is a
condensation (824 pages and 447 illustrations) of the complete edition; it eliminates much of the technical and accentuates the practical application.
The book is organized into six parts. Part 1, consisting of five chapters, covers
the fundamentals of nutrition. Part II, embracing II chapters, pertains to feeds in the broadest sense of the word. Part III has 12 chapters, including the Tra ,,s,,
innovative Chapter 17, Animal Cattle Wormer OBLET
Behavior-Environment; Chapter 18, Feeding Standards--Ration Formulation; followed by Chapters 19 to 28, with a chapter devoted to each speciesbeef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, swine, poultry, horses, rabbits, mink,i and fish. Part IV has two glossary chapters: Chapter 29, Glossary of Nutrition Terms; and Chapter 30, Glossary of Feedstuffs. Part V contains complete, .

Combat respiratory problems with injectable wormer?
An article in the September 1978 issue of Beef magazine referred to some research conducted at the Texas A&M Experiment Station, Amarillo, Texas, on using a new injectable wormer to combat feedlot pneumonia problems.
The three researchers involved have found they sharply cut down on the number of shipping fever cases they have to treat.
The test they ran was conducted on 1464 head of new arrivals at the PGC West Plains Feedyard. There were 12 separate sets of cattle, some from the southeast and the rest from east Texas. Average weights ranged from 469 pounds to 692 pounds. The test used 223 steers and 1241 heifers.
The article pointed out as the cattle arrived at the feedyard, they received normal handling-except for the type of wormer used. In that one treatment, FLORIDA CORN FOR YOUR CATTLE they were split three ways. The first

and cell-mediated immunity, which may
comprise 95 percent of an animal's
resistance potential to brucellosis. "The
key to this resistance lies in cell activity
rather than the antibody," he said.
Scientists theorize that lymphocytes,
which compose one class of cell elements, can be sensitized to a particular
antigen. When later exposed to that
antigen, the lymphocytes will activate
other cells to destroy the virulent
organism. An investigation to detect the
presence of sensitized lymphocytes in
blood samples is being carried out at the
University of Minnesota, which is
hoped will lead to better diagnostic
methods.
Scientists are also investigating the
transfer of sensitized T-lymphocytes
from a resistant animal to a susceptible
one. Goode feels that if successful, this
immunization procedure could replace

FCA follows up on SCA T
At the FCA board of directors meeting held in September authority was given the executive committee to look further into the SCAT program when it was learned some of the planned school textbooks appeared to be opposed to the consumption of meats in the diet. SCAT is a government-funded project developing educational materials at the grade school level.
Ron Stephens, Kissimmee, assistant to the executive vice president, FCA, reports that contact was made with the staff working on the project and with Senator Lawton Chiles's offices in both Washington, D.C., and Lakeland.
Charles Canady, administrative assistant for Chiles, held a meeting in the Lakeland office with several staff members of the Florida Department of Education and several points of criticism were discussed concerning the texts.
Points covered included: (1) Free enterprise should be treated fairly. (2) The books should be valid, realistic, accurate and positive. (3) The outlined information should not be ambiguous or slanted. (4) A thorough review and a process for incorporating suggested changes in the books should be studied and readied for implementation. (5) Provisions for a final review should be made prior to publication.

RAM THAT WORKS.
N THE TRAITS THAT COUNT
Our Chief Herd Sires Are Ankonian Dynamo and
Ankonian Momentum.
ANKONIAN DYNAM ANKONIAN MOMENT
We believe "Dynamo" to be the top bull in the "Momentum" was the top bull in Ankony's 1973
Angus breed. In 1974 we purchased a large supply calf crop and the highest scoring bull they have

ing, easy calving daughters. This is no surprise since Miss Emulous B ("Dynamo's" dam) is the top
producing cow in the Ankony herd.
We have over 200 "Dynamo" daughters being mated to "Momentum" and
the females from this mating are then bred to "Dynamo." We are extremely
pleased with the results.
To further intensify the blood of these two great bulls and their highly productive dams, we have
acquired 2 outstanding young bulls. One is Ankonian Momentous sired by "Momentum" out of "Dynamo's" mother. The other is Greenway Dynamic sired by "Dynamo" out of "Momentum's" mother.
Both are top performers and top individuals in their own right.
The final bull in our herd sire battery is Ankonian Prestige. He ranked fourth in Ankony's 1974 calf
crop and was used in the Ankony herd where he sired the top performing female in their 1976 calf crop.
The dam of "Prestige" is also a top producing cow and his maternal grandmother was the largest cow in
the Murray Corbin herd. We believe "Prestige" is the largest son of "Dynamo."
"Momentum" and "Prestige" have both been thoroughly progeny tested
and do not carry the red gene. We will have progeny data on "Momentous" and
"Dynamic" soon.
We sincerely believe that this group of bulls mated with our females (some of which are daughters of
"Dynamo" out of the top Murray Corbin foundation cows) will improve the breed, our herd and yours.
We welcome your inspection.
Complete performance records are maintained and used.
Semen and A.I. certificates are available on all the bulls Including "Dynamo" himself.
Two-year-old bulls for purebred and commercial herds are tested and ready to go.

77 It. A Feed Nutrena Controlled Release Liquid Supplement now Nutrena Controlled Release CLS is a patented liquid supplement specifically formulated for Florida conditions that acts more like natural protein. Here's why. Nutrena Controlled Release is a dramatic improvement over conventional urea-based liquid supplements. Conventional supplements release ammonia during digestion, and much is wasted before it can be turned into protein by the rumen organisms. Nutrena Controlled Release controls the release of ammonia in the rumen, and promotes efficient use of the ammonia in building protein. This means you get more efficient utilization of protein, safely Cattle get complete nutrition with every lick The ingredients in Nutrena's CLS are suspended in a stable form that will not settle out. Every lick your cattle take contains all the nutrients in the formula. Nutrena's CLS provides the nutrients generally lacking in winter pasture, protects your cattle's summer gains and calf crop. Your Nutrena man has the answers Contact Nutrena, or any of the dealers listed below for full information. See how Nutrena Controlled Release CLS 32 or CLS 16 can help you zero in on better gains.

FLORIDA CATTLEMEN'S ASSOCIATION A Report from the Executive Vice President DOUGLAS DA HL MUMMEY A STUDY OF THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND PRIMARY ELECTION IN THE race for the Democratic nomination for Governor indicates that rural counties in Florida still have a great deal to say about the final outcome. The substantial margin for Shevin in heavily populated South Florida was overcome by a very substantial margin by Graham in the rural areas of the state. While we have not seen a study of the vote percentage by counties, we would suspect that the percentage of registered voters who went to the polls in the rural areas was somewhat higher than in the metropolitan counties. WE HAVE INDICATED IN PAST REPORTS OUR CONCERN IN THE OUTCOME of the Legislative races due to the very large number of House and Senate seats that will be filled by nonincumbents. The November 7th election will decide 65 of the House members and 15 of the Senate. It is vital that the agriculture community know the candidates and vote in large numbers on election day. IN ADDITION TO THE VERY IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE RACES, THE CONstitution Revision Commission proposals and the Casino Gambling issue, the great interest in the Governor's race should mean a very large voter turnout in November. We urge our membership to make every effort to participate in the final decisions. We are pleased to report that the first year of activity of the Agri-Business Forum, the Political Action Committee formed to give agriculture a stronger voice statewide in the elective process, has been most successful and we believe that it will continue to grow in strength and effort in the future. INITIAL REPORTS AND RESULTS FROM THE CAMPAIGN TO RAISE THE NECessary funds to pay the balance due on the purchase of the Florida Cattleman magazine have been most encouraging. At the final planning meeting in September, FCA leadership and representatives of the Livestock Market Association agreed to make the program a month of October event. This would allow many more producers to participate who did not have animals to move to the markets the one week previously designated. We hope that the work and effort of so many of our members and friends will result in final success and we are most grateful to the Livestock Markets for their outstanding cooperation in achieving the goal. REMEMBER TO MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE QUARTERLY BOARD OF Directors Meeting in Vero Beach on December 6 and 7 and also for the National Cattlemen's Association Convention in Kansas City January 22-25, 1979. The major effort over the past year to increase Florida membership in the national association was most successful. We have received confirmation from NCA headquarters that Florida will have three members on their Board of Directors in the coming year. With Pat Wilson, Region 2 NCA Vice President also on the board, Florida will have a strong voice in the association activities.

I can't raise cattle on my land but just pay taxes because high society hunters, alligator RON STEPHENS, of the FCA staff, spoke before a group of homemakers in Dade County recently with information on beef and methods of identifying cuts and preparation. Shown at left is Justine L. Bizette, home economics extension agent in Dade County. lovers, birdwatchers ..want to keep the land ...Alligators mean more to them than cattle ...I am sorry but I am upset over the whole situation. They send you overseas to fight for freedom then you come home they condemn your land and dreams to have a cattle farm. Land for the poor people? Let them work as I do and you, instead of going on relief. The do-gooders put me out of business, and they (will) put you out of business sooner or later too.

The only way to tag safely and easily from Hanford for cattle, hoqs, and sheep The Allflex system is easy on you, easy on the animal. Because it takes only a second or two, even a hard-to-handle animal can be tagged with relative ease. 99j Allflex tags are flexible, weatherproof, and snag-proof. Available in six colors and four sizes, they come prenumbered or blank with special paint to make your own identifying marks. Either way, markings are bonded permanently to the tag and easily readable. Single Double Application is easy, safe, permanent, and hygienic. You use the same handy applicator for all your animals. A swift stroke of the steel pin snaps the two halves together in the ear so they cannot be separated. Write for full information and prices. Allflex is an international first.

The product, a super tough PVA plastic emulsion, not a paint, can be applied over most roofs and sidewalls without reroofing or repainting at a very competitive cost, spokesmen say. VynAc also gives much longer service than the product it covers, it was pointed out. Vyn-Ac is applied as a liquid plastic and dries to a contracting and expanding rock tough surface without the need of expensive contractors. Some of the outstanding advantages of the product are that it cools your building; extends roof and wall life; adds comfort and saves fuel; imparts uniform, dress up appearance; is highly wind damage resistant; reduces noise penetration; adds much life to the existing roof or sidewall, weatherproofs, protects and insulates. Whether it be a metal structure on farm or ranch, a shingled home, or a concrete wall, Vyn-Ac does it all, says the manufacturer.

They say the "Markey" crossed on American cattle is giving dressing percentages of 62-73 percent; cutability scores over 59 percent consistently: grading Prime and Choice; distinctively tasty, tender beef; easy calving (96-100 percent unassisted); fast growth rates at 100 pounds per month with no creep feed: feed conversion of 5-7 percent better than other American or "Exotic" crosses with 10 percent more lean primal cuts per day of age; heat and insect resistance; disease resistance and milk cattle at seven percent butterfat in purebloods. The Lesters say the "Markey" is a fertile, early maturing, highly adaptable, efficient beef animal with a docile temperament.

Snell Systems, Inc., of San Antonio, Texas, say they have the product which can do all of this. It's a new system consisting of a multi-strand permanent fence operated on solid state low impedance energizers that can charge over 40 to 50 miles of wire. The company says the electric fences can operate on I10-volt or 220volt electricity, a 12-volt wet battery, or two 6-volt dry batteries. The energizers use medium voltage (5000 volts) and a variable power output to deliver a micro-second pulse (300 millionth of a second) over long distances. When operated off electric current, the controllers can charge up to 50 miles of wire. The 12-volt battery unit will energize 20 miles of fence, and small battery units will electrify five miles of wire. Power costs, says the company, are 10 or 12 cents per week. Rising costs for fencing materials have made range enclosure of large areas extremely expensive. With the new electric fencing system, farmers and ranchers can save on both materials and labor. Arthur L. Snell, president of the firm, estimates the materials cost for a WEEL LIVE R 0

We've just improved 'ramisol Injectable by lowering the cost per dose. Here's how it's possible. Tramisol Injectable was approved for use in cattle in 1973 at a dose level of 8 milligrams per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of body weight. This dose level was based on previously approved levels found effective for oral administration. Subsequent tests have been completed in which lower dose levels of Tramisol Injectable were compared directly with the presently approved arnsotephosll iNJECT"ABLE SOLUTION STERILE F~R Antl nt / N OR sUBCUTANEOUS IN CATTLE level for anthelmintic efficacy. The tests were carried out in Louisiana, Florida, Montana and Texas by University and Cyanamid personnel, using cattle carrying naturally acquired parasites. These studies prove conclusively that the new 13.65% concentration of flramisol Injectable is fully as effective as the 18.2% concentration of Tramisol Injectable used at the same dose level.

world was their classroom." "Feeds and Nutrition" was authored by Dr. M. E. Ensminger, President of Agriservices Foundation, and Dr. Charles G. Olentine, Jr. Like its predecessor, there are both complete and abridged editions of "Feeds and Nutrition." "Feeds and Nutrition"complete (1,417 pages and 525 illustrations) covers both the fundamentals of nutrition and the art of livestock feeding, and narrows the gap between nutrition research and application. "Feeds and Nutrition"--abridged is a condensation (824 pages and 447 illustrations) of the complete edition; it eliminates much of the technical and accentuates the practical application. The book is organized into six parts. Part 1, consisting of five chapters, covers the fundamentals of nutrition. Part II, embracing I I chapters, pertains to feeds in the broadest sense of the word. Part IlI has 12 chapters, including the innovative Chapter 17, Animal Behavior-Environment; Chapter 18, Feeding Standards-Ration Formulation; followed by Chapters 19 to 28, with a chapter devoted to each speciesbeef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep, goats, swine, poultry, horses, rabbits, mink, and fish. Part IV has two glossary chapters: Chapter 29, Glossary of Nutrition Terms; and Chapter 30, Glossary of Feedstuffs. Part V contains complete, up-to-date, and easy-to-use feed composition tables, presnted on both AsFed and Moisture-Free bases, and in both U.S. Customary and Metric. Part VI, the Appendix, provides useful supplementary information. Ensminger, the senior author, charactarized the writing of "Feeds and Nutrition" as "a mountainous job, never beginning and never ending." He and Mrs. Ensminger, along with a staff of six to eight, devoted five years to the writing and publishing of the book. As perfectionists, the Ensmingers spared neither time nor expense in the writing, editing, art work, format, quality of paper, printing, and binding. Mrs. Ensminger is credited with the many pleasing innovations in format, design, and cover. Already, a contract has been signed for Spanish editions of both books, to be printed in Argentina. Ensminger considers "Feeds and Nutrition" as his greatest challenge and his best work. He concludes: "All authors are dreamers and doers. They visualize a need, then set out to fill it through the written word. These were the motivating forces back of "Feeds and Nutrition." The need: to bring together both the art and the science of livestock feeding in a stockman's bible; to narrow the gap between nutrition research and application-to speed the process; and to assure more animals in the future, followed by conversion of more feeds to palatable and nutritious foods for human consumption.

(brochures available) stuart, fla. 33494 305/287-3046 Combat respiratory problems with injectable wormer? An article in the September 1978 issue of Beef magazine referred to some research conducted at the Texas A&M Experinent Station, Amarillo, Texas, on using a new injectable wormer to combat feedlot pneumonia problems. The three researchers involved have found they sharply cut down on the number of shipping fever cases they have to treat. The test they ran was conducted on 1464 head of new arrivals at the PGC West Plains Feedyard. There were 12 separate sets of cattle, some from the southeast and the rest from east Texas. Average weights ranged from 469 pounds to 692 pounds. The test used 223 steers and 1241 heifers. The article pointed out as the cattle arrived at the feedyard, they received normal handling-except for the type of former used, In that one treatment, they were split three ways. The first group got injectable Tramisol. (Levamisole PO4)-The second group got Tramisol Cattle Wormer Oblets (Levamisole HCI.)-The third group got TBZ Cattle Wormer Paste. (Thiabendazole.) All three wormers were given exactly as recommended by the manufacturer, including dosage rates, it was pointed out. Following treatment, the calves went into normal feeding pens and were handled like any other set of feedlot cattle, except the research team kept close track of all the shipping-fever and pneumonia problems that turned up during the first 30 days. Considered "about normal" they wound up with about a one percent death loss and they had to treat about 17 percent of the calves during that first month. Other comparisons showed that the cattle given the injectable wormer showed 31.04 percent less sickness during the 30 day period than either the cattle given the bolus or paste wormer. One of the researchers theorized it is possible that the levamisole helps only a given percentage of the cattle-not all of them-and appeared to help the disease problems more in "short haul" cattle, then in long-haul. The research team is convinced the injectable wormer will help combat respiratory problems when shipping cattle and it's the kind of help that can be implemented into existing management systems.

Researchers aid cattle industry in brucellosis eradication effort lI)ITOR'S NOTEThe following article was 6frnished to The Cattleman by Robin Soslow, public information specialist with USDA 's A nimal and Plant healthh Inspection Service. T HE battle against brucellosis takes place not only at the cattle ranch and farm but also in the laboratory. Supporting and supplying producers, veterinarians and health officials with an arsenal to fight the disease, researchers across the country strive for more efficient eradication methods. Brucellosis research has progressed rapidly since Sir David Bruce, for whom the disease was named, studied the organism 91 years ago. Although many discoveries have been made in the areas of disease characteristics, transmission, detection, control and prevention, brucellosis (Bang's disease) lingers on. USDA has functioned as a major sponsor of brucellosis study since the early part of this century, according to Dr. Edward Schilf, assistant to the deputy administrator of the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Years of research have spawned tests and Strain 19 vaccine in use today, but dedicated individuals continue to hunt for a greater understanding of the disease. "USDA's Science and Education Administration-Federal Research (formerly the Agricultural Research Service) has placed great emphasis on brucellosis research over the years," said Dr. Edwin R. Goode, Jr., staff scientist with the Livestock and Veterinary Science staff. He added that socioeconomic reasons, such as greater demand by cattle producers and availability of federal funds, have contributed to the expansion of this research. Research efforts in brucellosis diminished during the late 1950's and 1960's as eradication goals moved closer to reality and scientists delved into more immediate concerns such as cancer research, according to Dr. Winthrop C. Ray, epidemiologist with APHIS's cattle disease staff. When the research arm of USDA cut funding, APHIS sponsored additional field investigations. However, the new thrust in research resulted as these efforts proved inadequate. Government reacts to criticism Interest on the part of cattlemen's associations and persistence on the part of Dr. Paul Nicoletti of Gainesville, a former A PH IS veterinary epidemiologist who spent most of his 23 years of government service on brucellosis programs, spurred a reevaluation of the need for flexibility in the traditional program. His major concern was to find a practical solution to heavily infected herds in high-incidence states. He stressed the importance of wider application of vaccines in a manner which would minimize loss to owners and spread of disease. (Editor's note-Dr. Nicoletti is now on the staff of the Veterinary College, University of Florida). Revival of research On the upswing since the early 1970's, the incidence of brucellosis peaked in 1975. In response to this increase and concurrent resurgence of human brucellosis, interest in research has been revived over the past two years. Producers' cooperation in accelerated test and slaughter efforts and more emphasis advocating calfhood vaccination programs has resulted in a reversal of the upward trend in infection rates. This year, SEA and APHIS have channeled about $2 million into 20 research projects, while jointly considering several new proposals. Brucellosis research, veterinary officials agree, has regained stature as a challenging and imperative field. "Research seeks to expand knowledge of the disease. This in turn can facilitate the development of less expensive eradication procedures, more accurate tests and increased vaccine efficiency," explained Ray. Goode further described research aims as "pragmatic and balanced." The diverse programs encompass realistic and farreaching goals, while not prophesying miracle cures. More specifically, the two focal points of exploration involve diagnostic tools and improved vaccines. Diagnostic tools One promising project for improving diagnostic methods centers on the enzyme-labeled antibody test (ELA) being studied at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico. Ray called FLA a potentially sensitive yet specific testing procedure capable of differentiating between vaccine-induced antibodies and antibodies present in response to brucellosis infection. Antibodies are produced within the body when foreign materials (antigens) such as bacteria are introduced to help inactivate and destroy the agent. ELA could be instrumental in detecting the disease prior to abortion and mass exposure. Immunity and improved vaccines Ray described two types of immunity to infection: humoral, in which protection is provided by antibodies in the blood, 42 / THE FLORIDA CATTlEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

PAGE 41

and cell-mediated immunity, which may comprise 95 percent of an animal's resistance potential to brucellosis. "The key to this resistance lies in cell activity rather than the antibody," he said. Scientists theorize that lymphocytes, which compose one class of cell elements, can be sensitized to a particular antigen. When later exposed to that antigen, the lymphocytes will activate other cells to destroy the virulent organism. An investigation to detect the presence of sensitized lymphocytes in blood samples is being carried out at the University of Minnesota, which is hoped will lead to better diagnostic methods. Scientists are also investigating the transfer of sensitized T-lymphocytes from a resistant animal to a susceptible one. Goode feels that if successful, this immunization procedure could replace the live brucellosis vaccine. The transfer of' lymphocytes would eliminate the need for a vaccine and the subsequent risk of diagnostic interference due to antibodies directed toward the infected brucella cells. The principle of transferring immunity could have broad application in the prevention of human and animal disease. Another related endeavor involves the fractionation of cells in search of tiny components which could effectively spur an immune response. These "lymphokines" have various functions which may suppress or enhance a particular reaction. Observing two-and-ahalf years of work in this field at the National Animal Disease Center (NADC) in Ames, Iowa, Dr. George Lambert, the assistant director, reported severa l preparations exhibited encouraging signs. Meanwhile, a University of Wisconsin team is working on techniques of fractionating the brucella cell and its antigenic fractions for use in improved vaccines and diagnostic tests. "In summary, we must choose between safety and efficacy," said Lambert, detailing the search for new ways to use Strain 19, normally reserved for calfhood vaccination. NADC researchers exploring yearling vaccination expect to culminate their study by March 1979. This work will continue the controlled study nearing completion on mature cows. Ray is scheduled to report in the near future on the field results involving adult vaccination in approximately 350 herds in 12 states and Puerto Rico, a project begun in February 1977. The recent exploration of adult vaccination has followed a successful study of five commercial herds by Nicoletti. As a result of this work, USDA was able to approve adult vaccination plans for large, badly-infected herds. Less promising is the development of a new vaccine. Dr. Margaret E. Meyer, epidemiologist at the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California at Davis, has recently completed her study of a French strain, H38. Her results support the view that the TAIL-BLEEDING IS PART of the work done at the ranch for detecting brucellosis. Scientists are seeking ways to eliminate this disease which often results in abortions, infertility and reduction in milk yield. protection provided by this vaccine is equal to that afforded by Strain 19, but it had significant disadvantages in that it caused high residual vaccinal titers and required two doses of vaccine for maximum protection which caused persisting tissue reactions. "Many of these areas have received attention in the past, so we don't expect dramatic breakthroughs," explained Ray. While the APHIS epidemiologist could foresee new protection techniques involving cell transfer to supplement or even supplant the live vaccine, he cautioned that complications such as cell rejection may arise. Treatment and management One of the obstacles in the treatment of l[rucellosis involves the intracellular nature of the bacteria. The parasite invades the cells of the host's lymph nodes, udder and uterus, thereby protected from drugs injected into the bloodstream. Dr. Norman B. McCullough and Dr. Terry Conger at Michigan State University have been attempting to harness cell-mediated immunity to overcome the shielded bacteria. T-lymphocytes play an active part in the process by quickly reacting to the infectious 'microorganisms and activating other cells to destroy the brucellae. Ray expects ventures with antibiotics will resume. Tetracycline, used successfully in the treatment of human brucellosis, has been found to cure some test animals, but only suppress symptoms in others, thus clouding diagnosis of the disease. Nonetheless, tetracycline may be of value in suppressing the discharge of brucella cells by host animals, rendering it potentially useful in large herds. A European antibiotic, Rifampin, has been used to treat human brucellosis and tuberculosis, but cannot be widely-used because some bacteria rapidly develop tolerance to this drug. "We may need to devise program methods to handle the possibility of latent infection in calves from infected dams, though generally this problem is self-contained if the calves remain in the herd," said Ray. Although considered minor, the potential threat of some calves carrying brucellosis represents another area requiring scientific activity. Researchers at Auburn University in Alabama are raising calves of reactor cows to determine the seriousness of this problem and possible solutions. Future outlook Justification for optimism can be found at Ames, where diligent scientists at NADC and APHIS's National Veterinary Services Lab study bacteria and infected herds. Federal Funds have been extended to the 15 university research teams which have undertaken explorations in brucellosis detection and immunity. "Leading scientists and eager young pioneers are actively searching for improved eradication methods, and as long as congressional funding continues, we're in good shape," commented Lambert, adding his belief that USDA will provide further encouragement for brucellosis research. "Social, political and economic problems of the program," Goode stressed, "represent non-scientilic barriers before the goal of conquering brucellosis." Eradication cannot be accomplished unless all concerned cooperate in putting the fruits of research into practice. He echoed the sentiment of many researchers that current knowledge and conscientious herd management comprise the primary elements of the eradication effort. New discoveries will provide the icing on the cake by saving money and time and by improving health in the cattle industry. THE FLORIDA (ATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978 / 43

Sale chairman Dan Childs, Lake Placid, said he anticipates about 120 head of bulls will be judged and sold at the event, jointly sponsored by the American Hereford Association and Florida Hereford Association. The bulls will be probed for back-fat thickness prior to the judging, and the results, along with key performance information, will be given to each of the judges to assist in the evaluation of the bulls. A three panel judging system will again be utilized, according to Childs. Judges for this year's event will be Alto (Bud) Adams, Jr., Fort Pierce; D. L. Wakeman, Gainesville; and a purebred Hereford breeder who had not been selected at presstime. The judging is scheduled to be held starting at 2:00 p.m. on November 29. In addition to the official judging, a district FFA judging contest will be held in conjunction with the event. About 200300 FFA'ers are expected for the event. A pre-sale social will be held on the evening of November 29, starting at 6:00 p.m., at the Davis Brothers Motel, Bartow. Childs said the performance clinic, set for 9:30 a.m., November 30, will be of particular interest to commercial cattlemen because it will feature bodytypes and performance. Speakers will include Craig Ludwig and Lovelle KuyKendall of the American Hereford Association and Bob Sand and Don Hargrove of the University of Florida.

SCAT is a government-funded project developing educational materials at the grade school level. Ron Stephens, Kissimmee, assistant to the executive vice president, FCA, reports that contact was made with the staff working on the project and with Senator Lawton Chiles's offices in both Washington, D.C., and Lakeland. Charles Canady, administrative assistant for Chiles, held a meeting in the Lakeland office with several staff members of the Florida Department of Education and several points of criticism were discussed concerning the texts. Points covered included: (1) Free enterprise should be treated fairly. (2) The books should be valid, realistic, accurate and positive. (3) The outlined information should not be ambiguous or slanted. (4) A thorough review and a process for incorporating suggested changes in the books should be studied and readied for implementation. (5) Provisions for a final review should be made prior to publication. Stephens said contact with the project staff will be maintained so that the meaningful communication can be continued.

Livestock producers get emergency funds USDA provided $165,437,245 during the first I I months of the emergency feed program to help U.S. livestock producers buy feed. Ray Fitzgerald, administrator of USDA's Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, said that 131,383 applications were received during the period of October 1, 1977 through August 31, 1978. USDA approved 103,128, 78.5 percent, of the applications to help producers purchase up to 12.7 billion pounds of feed (227.6 million bushels, corn equivalent). Under the emergency feed program, the secretary of agriculture may authorize financial aid to farmers when their livestock are threatened by conditions brought on by a natural disaster. Participants may be reimbursed up to 50 percent of the cost for feed purchased during the emergency period. This, however, may not exceed two cents per pound in terms of feed grain equivalent. Production of corn in Florida is estimated at 21.5 million bushels, more than double production from last year's drought ridden crop. 52 / THE FLORIDA CArLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

GROWTHY brood cow at left is already producing top calves in the Double Diamond Farms program. Angus cross cows like this will make up the cow herd at the ranch in the future. Angus bulls get quality beef W E'RE using Angus bulls to get the kind of beef quality and uniformity that's in demand by the feeder calf buyers." That's what Harold Price, manager of Double Diamond Farms, Okeechobee, says about his breeding program, built around an AngusBrahman cross. Price, a University of Florida animal science graduate, is guiding the large commercial cow/calf operation toward a 5/8 Angus 3/8 Brahman market calf. Price took over the ranch, which covers over 30 sections in Okeechobee County, in 1975. The brood cows consisted mainly of grade Brahman and native commercial type cattle. Angus bulls with size backed by performance records-were purchased by Price to breed to the Brahman type cows. Wye bred bulls were mostly purchased, although some Emulous bulls were selected. "I like to look at a bull's record before I buy him," Price says, although he has purchased some without knowing their performance. "I look for a bull with ample size and muscling, structurally correct, and a masculine alert bull," Price says. He likes "good legs" under his bulls. He doesn't worry about disposition when purchasing at a public auction sale. "They'll act up sometimes under those conditions," Price says, "but we don't have any trouble with them once we get them home." The Angus-Brahman cross is hard to beat in Florida, according to Price. "We must have the Brahman because of our environment, and the Angus produces the carcass and meat quality desired in feeder cattle." There are two ways to go with the F' cattle, Price says. Some will be bred back to purebred Brahman bulls to get 3/4 Brahman-1/4 Angus replacement females. These will be bred to purebred Angus bulls, producing a 5/8 Angus, 3/8 Brahman market calf. Other F' females will be bred to Angus bulls, which will yield a high quality market calf. Females kept in the program from these matings will be bred back to F' bulls and Brahman bulls. Price likes the two-breed cross because he can keep more uniformity in market calves. "If you have good quality, uniform calves you can get a premium from buyers," Price Says. "This helps in low market price years, and even in high market price years. I think there is something to producing uniform, quality calves." The ranch is now understocked. "We've got more land than cattle but we're building," says Price. Bulls are stocked at the rate of one to 20 cows. Coming through a rough winter in 1977-78, the ranch still weaned an 80 percent calf crop this year. Price is pleased with this percentage since he shortened the breeding season during that period. Five sections of the ranch are now in improved pasture. Planting permanent pasture at Double Diamond has been easier than in most sections of Florida, according to Price, because much of the land is natural prairie land. "We just disk three times and'plant," Price says. Pangola and Bahia grass have been utilized in the improved pastures. Some new grasses are also being used at Double Diamond. About 700 acres of Taiwan Digit grass has been planted and is looking good, according to Price. "It can stand the cold better than Pangola and the cattle like it just as well." Some "Big Alta" Hemarthria grass has also been planted. The ranch puts up some hay, but hay is not a major winter feed. "We've got enough land that we can graze all year," Price points out. Cows are usually wintered in the native woods with some access to improved pasture. Frosted Pangola grass is utilized to good advantage in the winter. Cow/calf pairs are moved from the native range to improved pastures in the spring. A complete herd health program is followed by Price. Heifers receive all required vaccinations including IBR, P13, Blackleg, and calfhood vaccinations for Bangs. Steer calves are implanted 90 days before weaning with Ralgro. Cows receive initial Leptospirosis and Vibriosis vaccinations and yearly boosters. Dust bags are used around mineral boxes, and cattle are sprayed each time they are worked to help control external parasites. Cattle are worked and fluked in spring and fall. All cows are pregnancy checked in August or September at Double Diamond. Everything open is branded on the shoulder with a "NO" and if the cow ever turns up open again she is culled. Price says eventually all open cows will be culled, but until all cow herds are synchronized in a breeding program he will follow the branding method. "This will still eliminate our every other year breeders," he says. Some heifers are bred as long yearlings. This year Price is breeding about 250 heifers for their second calf. "This is the hardest bunch to get bred," he says. Price plans to continue with the twobreed cross in his commercial herd and Angus will continue to play a major role. An old established breed, Angus offers more of a base for selection than other breeds, according to Price. "They've been here a long time and are proven in this country," he concludes. "I don't see any reason to change." 68 / THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

Certified Angus beef to sell A special program to sell "Certified Angus Beef' to consumers was set to begin October 18 in Columbus, Ohio, reports C. K. Allen, executive secretary of the American Angus Association, St. Joseph, Missouri. The plan, developed by a task force committee appointed by the president of the American Angus Association, is designed to bring together the packer and the retailer to provide consumers with beef that is certified to meet rigid quality standards and to be produced from Angus cattle, Allen said. The first Certified Angus Beef will be sold in two IGA food markets in Columbus, Ohio, according to Louis "Mick" Colvin, director of the Certified Angus Beef (CAB) program for the American Angus Association. The cattle will be slaughtered by the Val Decker Packing Company of Tiqua, Ohio. "This marks the first time in the history of the U. S. beef production that a breed association has attempted to identify and sell its breed of cattle to the beef consuming public," said Allen. "We have high hopes for the future of this new program, which we hope to expand to all areas of the U. S." The Angus cattle used in the CAB program are certified by the USDA Federal Inspection Service at the packing plant and the breed identity is maintained from the live animal to the individual retail cut. The carcasses are quality graded and rolled either USDA Choice or Prime, then those carcasses that meet or exceed the Certified Angus Beef specifications are stamped by the federal grader to be rolled with the trade marked "Certified Angus Beef" stamp. In addition to being from Angus cattle, the carcasses must meet the following seven qualities as determined by the USDA grader. 1) Have at least modest (average Choice) marbling. 2) Fall within the "A" maturity range. 3) Yield grade 3 or better for Prime and no higher than the mid-point of the 3 grade for Choice. 4) Lean must be within the "fine" texture range. 5) Have fine to medium marbling texture. 6) Color of lean must be slightly dark red or lighter. 7) Meat must be moderately firm with no indication of softness. "The CAB program is an outgrowth of the lowering of USDA beef I I11 UL ANGUS BEEF quality grading standards, combined with desire on the part of many Angus breeders for a program to identify the superior Angus beef carcass traits and market them to consumers," said Colvin, program director. "We have found also, that many retailers and consumers are not happy with the wide range of quality that is found within the USDA Choice grade, and we designed the CAB program to eliminate this problem." The American Angus Association does not take ownership of the cattle or the beef. The Angus cattle are obtained by the packer, and the carcasses or boxes of primal cuts are sold directly to the participating retail outlet. The packer receives a small premium from the retailer to compensate for the extra time and effort involved in selecting, identifying and handling the Angus carcasses, and to pay for the administration of the program. Participating packers and retailers sign an agreement with the American Angus Association, that spells out how the program is to operate. Both packer and retailer are subject to unannounced inspections by a CAB representative to insure that all the provisions of the program are being followed. The American Angus Association, in addition to administering the program, furnishes carcass rolls, stamps and logo cuts to the packer for identifying carcasses and also for printing on boxes. The Association provides retailers with point of purchase display material, plus booklets and folders on beef cooking and the proper care and preparation of Certified Angus Beef. In addition the Association helps with the initial publicity and promotion when a retail outlet begins featuring Certified Angus Beef. Acting upon the recommendations of the Angus Beef Certification committee appointed to study the possibilities of developing an Angus beef certification program, the American Angus Association board of directors in November 1977 approved funds to develop the program and hire a full time director. Future CAB plans call for identifying Angus feeder cattle in commercial herds that are sired by registered Angus bulls and following these Angus from the farm or ranch through the feedlot, and packing plant to the retailer. This program will be some two years in the future, said Colvin. 70 / THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

RAM THAT WORKS. N4THE TRAITS THAT COUNT Our Chief Herd Sires Are Ankonian Dynamo and Ankonian Momentum. We believe "Dynamo" to be the top bull in the Angus breed. In 1974 we purchased a large supply of semen and A.I. certificates so as to guarantee his availability in our program. He was the top performing calf in his year at Ankony, a great show bull and a sire of great cattle. Although his sons are outstanding and have consistently won in this country, Canada, Argentina and Brazil, his greatest achievement is the excellence of his highly fertile, good milking, easy calving daughters. This is no surprise since Miss Emulous B ("Dynamo's" dam) is the top producing cow in the Ankony herd. "Momentum" was the top bull in Ankony's 1973 calf crop and the highest scoring bull they have produced. Like "Dynamo," he is a straight Emulous bred bull out of a Murray Corbin foundation cow. She is Miss Emulous 255 and she is also a superior producer ranking in the top 3 of the Ankony herd. "Momentum's daughters are now in production and show the same femininity and milking ability as their grandmother. We have over 200 "Dynamo" daughters being mated to "Momentum" and the females from this mating are then bred to "Dynamo." We are extremely pleased with the results. To further intensify the blood of these two great bulls and their highly productive dams, we have acquired 2 outstanding young bulls. One is Ankonian Momentous sired by "Momentum" out of "Dynamo's" mother. The other is Greenway Dynamic sired by "Dynamo" out of "Momentum's" mother. Both are top performers and top individuals in their own right. The final bull in our herd sire battery is Ankonian Prestige. He ranked fourth in Ankony's 1974 calf crop and was used in the Ankony herd where he sired the top performing female in their 1976 calf crop. The dam of "Prestige" is also a top producing cow and his maternal grandmother was the largest cow in the Murray Corbin herd. We believe "Prestige" is the largest son of "Dynamo." "Momentum" and "Prestige" have both been thoroughly progeny tested and do not carry the red gene. We will have progeny data on "Momentous" and "Dynamic" soon. We sincerely believe that this group of bulls mated with our females (some of which are daughters of "Dynamo" out of the top Murray Corbin foundation cows) will improve the breed, our herd and yours. We welcome your inspection. Complete performance records are maintained and used. Semen and A.I. certificates are available on all the bulls Including "Dynamo" himself. Two-year-old bulls for purebred and commercial herds are tested and ready to go. P. 0.

CowBelles attend national event in Oklahoma PRESIDENT'S BY-LINES Belle Jeffords, 1978 Beef Cook-Off chairman and I attended the National Beef Cook-Off in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We gained valuable knowledge that should enable Florida CowBelles to have a successful beef cook-off this year. Our Florida contestant, Mrs. Jean Ross, was not a winner but represented our state well. She was accompanied to Oklahoma City by her husband and son. The family expressed their thanks to Florida CowBelles for the opportunity afforded them by our project. The friendship and goodwill generated by the close association of CowBelles and contestants cannot be measured in terms of money. The cookoff also reaches consumers that have never heard of the work we do. They listened to our National Cattlemen's Association president, Dick McDougal, speak about our industry's problems. They met our American National CowBelle president, Mrs. Marie Holz and the friendly ladies conducting the cook-off and they left with a broader understanding of "we beef people." There were tearful goodbyes and requests to "keep in touch." I cannot see how these cook-off funds could be used in any way that would receive more favorable publicity for our product. During the cook-off awards ceremony, Mrs. Holz announced that a new paper-back cookbook will be printed very soon containing the top recipes from preceding cook-offs. You may be interested to know that the first national cook-off was held only five years ago in Denver with 12 contestants. It has grown to this year's huge two-day promotion with 49 states represented by ladies cooking beef in the most varied and delicious ways. Plans are being made to have the new cook book on sale in supermarkets, drug stores, etc. with the hope that our recipe contest will become as familiar to everyone as the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Melba Straigis and Sylvia Young were co-chairmen of Pasco County's five-store participation in a Florida Beef Roundup. Jeanette Barthle, publicity chairman, arranged for articles in the Pasco News, Zephyrhills Sun and Zephyrhills News. There was good radio coverage with tapes made by Pasco County CowBelles played daily. A total of 2375 samples of marinated round steak were handed out in the stores along with recipes and literature. Volusia County had a 9:00 to 9:00 Winn-Dixie promotion in New Smyrna Beach. They served beef sausage and received many favorable comments on this product. Winn-Dixie cooperated with the CowBelles and together they gave $40 in Beef Gift Certificates. A full page, color feature on beef was in the food section of the local newspaper. U-Save Super market in Brandon was visited by the Hillsborough County CowBelles. Louise Massaro, beef promotion chairman, reports good response from the consumers and a warm welcome from the U-Save managers. Sweet and sour meat balls were served and literature handed out. St. Lucie County CowBelles, guided by their beef promotion and education chairman, Judy Hamner, enjoyed a very successful Florida Beef Roundup. Friday found them working from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in Winn-Dixie and Publix Stores. Tidbits of chuck steak were cooked and served, marshmallows (a beef by-product) passed out and lots of literature, recipes and information given to consumers. Jeannie Carpenter, president, reported that the "Beef Facts" pamphlets were especially popular. Meat manager Bill Rogers of Winn-Dixie and Jim McGovern of Publix said sales of chuck roasts rose sharply due to the CowBelles' efforts. A $10 Beef Gift Certificate, donated by the stores, was given away in each store. This being the weekend that the End-ofYear-State Finals Rodeo was held in the Civic Center, the CowBelles were right there handing out recipes and A T JULIA PARRISH OF THE MANATEE COUNTY COWBELLES observed Vick Blackstone, FCA director from Manatee County, at left, and Jack Young, allied member from Goldenrod, signing in during one of the quarterly meetings of FCA and the CowBelles.

A big "Beef Up America" sign made sure rodeo fans saw the CowBelles and came to visit. During the morning promotion, consumers were fortunate to have our own Florida Beef Council chairman, Bill Starke, there to talk with them. It adds so much to a promotion to have our cattlemen help. The people really enjoy talking to the "menfolks." This is all the Roundup News received at this time. Please send your reports to Jerry McDonald, beef promotion chairman. We are pleased to announce that at the director's meeting to be held in Vero Beach December 6 and 7, we will have a guest at our Beef Education Workshop. Jan Stephens, chairman, has asked Dr. C. Bronson Lane to speak to the CowBelles. He was present at the last director's meeting when the film from the S.C.A.T. program was viewed. His provocative statements at that time made us want to hear more. Dr. Lane is a nutritionist, scientist and executive director for the Dairy and Food Nutrition Council of Florida. We urge you to make plans to be at this workshop and hear this knowledgeable speaker. Hopefully he will be with us during the evening so that we may all visit with him further. Do not forget to make plans for Farm City Week November 17-23. Packets were handed out at last director's meeting and some mailed. If you did not receive one for your county, let us know. There was a problem with outdated addresses. If there is any way that we can help you with Farm-City Week, please let us know. The state meeting has not yet been held, but any new information received will be sent to you. -Katharine Simms, President Florida CowBelles Association 76 / THE F.ORIDA CATTi-LEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

Mrs. Smith is chairman of NCA's product research, promotion and consumer relations committee, and stressed this in a talk at an animal agriculture seminar sponsored by the Illinois Grain & Feed Association and the University of Illinois animal science department at Peoria, Illinois on September 20. She cited the confusion among consumers caused by conflicting statements made about the efforts of diet (including consumption of beef and other animal products). Mrs. Smith added: "I think the consumer, as well as animal agriculture, would be best served if all of us made an effort to get the whole matter of diet and health out of the political and activist arena and back into the scientific arena. "Let's let scientists-impartial scientists-come up with the basic facts. Let's see that the public eventually gets those facts. And then let's permit a free economy to respond to the choices that are made." Mrs. Smith was critical of those who have been recommending reduced consumption of meat in the face of growing evidence that widely held theories about meat, type of fat and heart disease and cancer are not scientifically valid. She also was critical of moves toward public policies which would have government telling people what to eat and not eat, and telling farmers and ranchers what to produce and not produce. The proposed new Beef Research and Information program-to be voted on by cattlemen at some future datecan help bring the type of scientific information and information dissemination that are needed, Mrs. Smith said. She noted that funds generated through the self-help, uniform collection plan could be used to support independent diet-health research and demand research. The funds also could finance needed product development, plus public information and beef promotion. Mrs. Smith cited consumer attitude studies suggesting growing disenchantment with all of the talk against certain foods. Also, she said, reports of growing public interest in nutrition have not yet been reflected in marked diet changes. However, constant repetition of theories about fat-type and disease is turning a body of opinion into "fact" in the minds of many. "Obviously, we want our product to remain in, or increase in, demand," Mrs. Smith said, referring to the need for impartial research. "But we will take our chances in the scientific arena,

HENTGES, JR. Department of Animal Science, University of Florida What does the future hold for Florida's beef cattle industry? Key words in any outlook statement are legislation, energy, land-use, water and regulations. All affect the cost of feed for beef cattle and the cost of food for people. Feed represents more than 70 percent of the cost of operating a cow-calf business when land-use expenses like taxes, tillage, fertilization and water control are included. Whatever affects beef cattle nutrition affects the future outlook for the industry in Florida. With this in mind, put on your "thinking cap" and answer the following questions "yes" or "no" as a prelude to determining what you would predict for the future of the Florida beef cattle industry. Yes or No 1. Will the state of Florida eventually become one big city? 2. Will an increased need for water to sustain human life preempt (seize the exclusion of others) its availability for irrigation of crop and pasture land? 3. Will well-financed lobbying organizations influence legislators to place more restrictions on the use of wetlands and forests for food production and often with the objective of restoring these areas to their natural state? 4. Will there be a continuation, perhaps an increase, of governmental regulations from agencies like EPA, FDA, OSHA, and others with the increasing complexity of agricultural chemicals, fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, feed additives, health aids, etc.? 5. Will decreasing supplies of petroleum increase costs of energy on the farm (fuel for tractors and trucks, electricity for pumps and automated equipment, manufacture of fertilizer, processing of industrial by-product feeds, etc.)? 6. Will an increasing demand for rural land by city-dwellers and northerners seeking sunbelt homesites result in many mid-sized Florida farms being subdivided into 10 to 40-acre tracts thereby leaving Florida agriculture on either very small or very large farms and ranches? 7. Will it be economically possible in the future to ditch, plant, fertilize, irrigate, mow, spray and harvest the millions of acres of forage on infertile sandy lands in Florida as it has been done in the past? I had to give a discouraging "yes" to all except questions one and seven. Urban growth will continue at a fast pace but natural and legislated barriers plus private ownership of land are not expected to allow "urban sprawl" to wipe out Florida's food production industries in the foreseeable future. The cattle industry will be among the most viable of these industries simply because forage plants on marginal land are efficient converters of the sun's energy into cellulosic leaves and stems which cattle economically harvest by grazing and convert into one of man's most desired and nutritious foods-beef. People prefer to live near the coasts and scenic lake regions. Beef producers prefer to utilize the soils and natural resources of the interior. Florida can ideally accommodate both if commonsense land-use planning is legislated. Question seven implies that grass pastures have been established on lots of sandy soils and have been intensively utilized for beef production in the past. True, the AAA program underwrote the establishment of improved pastures and inexpensive sources of fuel, fertilizer and labor permitted a profitable beef industry to develop on infertile sandy soils. Those days are gone forever. Changes are forthcoming. University of Florida IFAS personnel, commercial consultants and the staffs of many corporate firms are jointly discovering new ways to not only sustain but increase beef production on Florida's unique soils. Mastering the new technology while lobbying for equitable land-use legislation will be a challenge for forthcoming generations of Florida beef producers. A study of the "yes" answers provides a foundation for optimism that isn't readily apparent. Question two was answered at the 1978 University Beef Short Course by Derrill McAteer, chairman of the Southwest Florida Water Management District, when he stated 86 / THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978 __R U. a e y a

Formulation of this plan before the enactment of inequitable water-rights legislation is essential for many beef producers. Acceptance of such a plan may be bitterly opposed but logic dictates that Florida needs both food producers and urban population centers. By proper management of forage on large acreages of untilled rangeland (marsh, prairies, flatwoods, forests, etc.) balanced with smaller acreages of intensively-tilled fertile soils, the forage/beef producer can actually conserve water, produce a desired protein-rich food and be compatible with a growing urban population. Question three implies that powerful lobbying organizations have been formed by people with access to funds meant to be philanthropic and as a means of preserving specified regions in their natural state. They exist and there is a need for environmental preservation legislation but it should be based on facts discovered by professionals rather than the showmanship of self-styled ecologists. Hopefully, mistakes of the past have forewarned the public about repeat performances. It is important to all Floridians that ruminant animals, preferably cattle, remain an essential segment in Florida ecosystems which include a unique balance of plant and animal life. Cattle producers are learning what is meant by terms like "alternative strategies for beef production in river basins at lower energy levels," "flood-plain marsh management strategies," "hydrologic considerations of improved pastures" and are becoming prepared to cooperate with other professional people and to truthfully present facts to the public and legislators. While it is true that reapportionment following the 1980 census may create a legislature elected largely by city-dwellers, equitable rural land-use laws can be expected if professional land-use planners and agricultural interests present the facts of agriculture truthfully and tactfully. Legislators will face challenges when they pit their logical thinking and the advice of professional consultants against the opposition of land developers motivated by profit but they will have the support of consumers who are in the majority and who, when faced with increasing food prices, can be expected to vote with food producers if they are truthfully informed. Governmental regulations cited in question four are a fact of life in the U.S. where consumer confidence in the safety and labeling of food is demanded.

Question five gets an unchallenged "yes." Energy costs will rise and this lends support to the answer for question two. Conservation of and efficient use of energy on ranches will be dictated by cost. Professional management of rangeland will become a reality. Question six gets an obvious "yes" and presents a real problem to state agencies charged with service, education, research and regulatory work. The demands of part-timers on small farms far exceed those of more knowledgeable operators of large units. The volume of commercial food production on parttime farms is comparatively very small but such farms play an important role because the quality of human life, especially the training of youth, is enhanced on these farms with these gardens, goats, vineyards, horses, trees and maybe a few beef cows. The popular press devoted pages to vocal groups who advocate return of commercial food production to the family farm but anyone who has studied the enormous cost of food production on small laborintensive farms knows the public will quickly reject such expensive proposals.

Auction markets get tariff deregulation at federal level Both the Senate and House of Representatives in Washington endorsed the Talmadge Tariff Deregulation Bill (S.3272) and it was signed into law by President Carter on October 2. The bill amends the Packers & Stockyard Act of 1921 to make lawful percentage or value-based tariffs for marketing services. Per head tariffs have always been recognized as being lawful. The Florida Association of Livestock Markets and FCA were supportive of the measures to deregulate as specified in the bill. Federal courts earlier this year ruled that percentage tariffs were illegal, although they have long been used by nearly 1000 of the nation's marketing businesses. Comments from Loran Casey, president of Livestock Marketing Association, Kansas City, Missouri, were, "With the signing of this bill, marketing businesses can now base their charges on a competitive, free-market economy, rather than being tied to a tariff schedule dictated by Washington. We expect competition for producer business to intensify, and that will be good for the entire industry." Buddy Williams, Marianna, FALM president, worked closely with Representative Don Fuqua in monitoring the status of the legislation as it moved through committee and in the final vote. Williams said it was what Florida markets owners had been seeking. Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland cited the deregulation of livestock markets as evidence of what can be accomplished when the government works with industry to improve the marketing system. The deregulation of fees charged by stockyards for their services was made effective October 6. "The department is no longer in the business of setting rates for stockyards," Bergland said. "We have adopted a policy that allows the markets to set their own rates for the services they provide to livestock sellers, rather than submit those rates to us for approval as they did in the past. "We believe, along with the industry, that competition in the market place will keep those rates reasonable. Meanwhile, we will still be responsive to complaints on rate matters and will investigate when circumstances warrant." The new policy, adopted after USDA held hearings and received public comments, allows stockyard operators to change their rates without obtaining advance approval, as was previously required. Operators will still be required to file changes with the department 10 days before the new rate takes effect. FALM's Williams attended the hearing which was held in Macon, Georgia, last winter. The new law allows stockyards to base their charges on either a percentage of the selling price or on a per-head basis. Bergland said the change in policy in administering the Packers and Stockyards Act and the legislation which amended that act reflect USDA's recognition of the constant change taking place in the livestock industry and the need to revise regulatory policy to keep up with the industry. "When the Packers and Stockyards Act was passed in 1921, there were about 70 livestock markets in the nation," said Bergland. "Now there are some 2000. "To confirm our feeling that it was time to lessen regulation of the industry, we held a series of seven public hearings around the country early this year. Most segments of the industry made it clear at those hearings they felt the time had come to deregulate." Bergland concluded, "We have responded to that sentiment. LMA pointed out the bill also authorizes an interagency task force within USDA to recommend ways to make known to buyers the existence of liens or security interests against livestock. The task force must make its findings and recommendations to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry by February 1, 1979. Alabama cow dealer charged Carl Register, A Slocomb, Alabama, livestock dealer has been charged by USDA with false weighing of livestock in violation of the Packers and Stockyards (P&S) Act. Register, who buys and sells livestock in south Alabama, southwest Georgia and northwest Florida, is registered as a dealer with USDA. In an administrative complaint filed under the P&S Act, USDA charged Register with four separate violations. Register has the right to hearing. If the evidence supports the charges, he would be placed under a cease and desist order, his registration could be suspended, and he also could be fined. Cattle and calves on feed September I for slaughter market in the seven major feeding states were estimated at 7.84 million, 16 percent more than a year ago and 22 percent more than September 1, 1976, according to the Crop Reporting Board.

Cow slaughter rate continues to slow The rate of cow slaughter as compared with a year earlier is now slowing, but there still will be a further decrease this year in the size of the nation's cow herd. It appears that a net build-up in the cow herd will not occur until 1980, say economists with Cattle-Fax, the market analysis service associated with the National Cattlemen's Association. Their report covered the first nine months of 1978 on cow slaughter estimates. In one of its periodic reports on cow slaughter and cow herd size, NCA said that cow slaughter in August totaled 707,000 head, or 16 percent less than a year earlier. Cow slaughter in September was estimated at 650,000 head, or 20 percent less than in the same month last year. Cow slaughter through September totaled an estimated 6,456,000 head, which represents a decrease of nine percent from a year earlier. Cow slaughter during the first half of 1978 was only five percent less than in the first six months of 1977, Cattle-Fax noted. However, the second half of the year is likely to show a decrease of 20 percent from a year earlier. Apparently in response to improved economics as well as moisture and feed conditions in some parts of the country, the cow slaughter rate is now slowing, and it is not currently showing a normal seasonal increase, the economists said. With this slowing of slaughter rate, total cow slaughter in 1978 is now estimated at 8.6 million head, compared with 9.9 million in 1977 and a peak cow slaughter of 11.6 million in 1975. The Cattle-Fax analysts said this year's cow slaughter will still be large enough to result in a reduction of 1/2 to two million in the size of the total cow herd. Cow numbers on January 1, 1979, are expected to total 47 to 48 million head, compared with 49.7 million a year earlier and the peak cow herd of 56.7 million on January 1, 1975. It now appears that the herd reduction phase of the cattle cycle may end during 1979, it was pointed out. Slaughter of cows and other non-fed animals will continue to decrease if producers respond to higher cattle prices and begin to rebuild their herds. However, the total cattle herd and the cow herd on January 1, 1980, may not be much, if any, larger than on January 1, 1979. It will take a sustained period of profitability to stimulate a rebuilding of herds, the economists pointed out. "Concern has been expressed that the industry is over-liquidating," said Richard A. McDougal, NCA president. "That could be. However, we also know that continued rapid cost inflation has put an entirely new element into the cattle cycle picture. This includes inflation of costs at the farm and ranch level, plus inflation of labor and other costs involved in processing and distributing beef (which affect the share of the retail beef dollar available to cattlemen). "If cattlemen are to have adequate returns in the next few years, it may take smaller per capita beef supplies, and higher beef and cattle prices, than otherwise would be the case," McDougal said. Total cattle slaughter in the first nine months of 1978 is estimated at 29.8 million head, or 5 percent less than a year earlier. Increases in fed cattle slaughter have made up for much of the decrease in cow and other non-fed slaughter. As a result, total beef output is down only four percent from a year earlier. It appears that increased demand (dollar expenditures) for beef, along with timely cattle marketing, has helped bring cattle prices which are substantially higher than a year earlier. Copeland plant to reopen Riviana Foods, Inc., Houston, Texas, has been negotiating the purchase of Copeland Sausage Company of Alachua. The announcement was recently made by Jack Nolinberg, vice president of industrial relations for Riviana. A spokesman for Copeland's parent company, Illini Beef Packers, Inc., Geneseo, Illinois, also indicated that the sale was pending. According to word from the Alachua Chamber of Commerce, the operation will probably change to beef processing and pork was definitely out of the plant's future. The Illini Beef firm's spokesman was quoted as saying, "Horrible margins in the slaughter of hogs and decreased dernand for processed meats at current price levels simply combined to produce losses at Copeland which were too great for an operation the size of Illini Beef to absorb." Riviana is a subsidiary of ColgatePalmolive Company, New York City. 'Continentals' come from many lands The recent popularity of "continental" cattle in the U.S. has acquainted cattlemen with many new breeds. One is called the Illawarra and comes from Australia. Illawarra aren't really beef animals, having been built on the basis of "deep-milking" Bates Shorthorn cattle shipped to Australia in the 1830's and 1840's. Later the breed mingled with Devon and Ayrshire bulls. The National Society of Milking Shorthorns sponsors this breed in the U.S. and they are all registered through the same breed association. 94 / THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

Correction! November 21, 1978, will be the date of the HI Cattle Company Limousin sale at Birmingham, Alabama. An error in the HT Cattle Company ad, shown on page 46A of the October issue of The Florida Cattleman, gave the sale date as November 2. The ad is shown correctly on page 90 of this issue. Dade slates youth event The Dade County Youth Fair is scheduled for March 15-25, 1979, according to Mrs. Nell Ohff, secretary. The livestock show will be previewed beginning at 10:00 a.m., March 17 and the "Fat Steer Sale and Auction" will take place at 8:00 p.m., the same date. Don Wakeman of the University of Florida, Gainesville, will judge the beef animals. Dairy entries will be placed by Howard Hanson, Miami. Hanson is associated with Airport Livestock Corporation, Miami. Mrs. Ohff points out that in the past three years, the Youth Fair Livestock Department has shown an increase of 200 percent in monies earned by students at the steer sale. The money goes directly to the student for the furtherance of his or her agricultural career. Although the steer show and sale is limited to Dade County students, participation in the livestock show of students up to 21 years of age from other countries is welcomed, Mrs. Ohff said. Cash premiums offered are blue ribbon registered heifer or bull qualifying, $75; grade animal blue ribbon winner $55. Junior Limousin scholarship set A $200 scholarship will be awarded to an active member of the North American Limousin Junior Association by the North American Limouselle Association, according to Hariot Greene, Vero Beach, chairman of the organization's scholarship committee. The sponsoring organization, North American Limouselle Association, is the auxiliary of the North American Limousin Foundation. Mrs. Greene said application forms and complete information on the scholarship offer can be obtained from NALF headquarters in Denver, Colorado.

Latest research results given at Ona beef, forage field day Over 200 cattlemen were on hand for the annual Beef Cattle and Forage Field day held October 6 at the Agricultural Research Center, Ona, to hear reports on the latest research conducted at the center. H. L. Chapman, Jr., director of the Ona center, emceed the event and made two presentations. Chapman covered the use of Ralgro or Culbac by cattle, and, in the absence of C. B. Ammerman of the University of Florida staff, Gainesville, he presented information on selenium supplementation in cattle feeds. On Ralgro experiments, Chapman said, "There was a consistent benefit in the rate of gain for the implanted steers throughout the study, which resulted in the implanted group going to market two weeks before the non-implanted group. Carcass, feed and cost data on the trials will be available at a later date, he said. Further study is needed before conclusions can be made on the Culbac trials, Chapman noted. Chapman reported that selenium supplements have been approved for certain classes of swine, poultry and ewes and lambs, but not for beef and dairy cattle. HARDEE COUNTY Cattlemen's Association members prepared the steak lunch at the Ona field day. Members above are putting a fresh batch of steaks on the fire. E. M. Hodges, agronomist at the Ona ARC, covered year-round grazing programs in central and south Florida. He said each of the many forage grasses available for beef production in central and south Florida has strong points and weak points, suggesting that the use of wisdom in stocking rates is a key factor in a planned grazing program. Managing Aeschynomene and Hairy Indigo was the topic covered by R. S. Kalmbacher, Ona's assistant agronomist. He recommended that the summer legumes be grazed at 18 to 24 inches tall, or harvested at 36 inches for hay. C. L. Dantzman, assistant soil chemist at Ona, made some recommendations on fertilization practices for flatwood soils. He recommended soil testing, and following recommendations indicated by the test results. Dantzman also noted that fertilization should be timed to provide feed when needed, and that pastures should be fertilized two to four weeks before grazing. Multicropping forage systems for south Florida was discussed by Paul Mislevy, associate agronomist at Ona. Mislevy cited studies that indicate corn and Aeschynomene can be profitably grown in a multicropping system at the station. M. F. Richter, assistant animal nutritionist at the Ona station, told the group that poultry wastes have been used successfully as a supplement in beef cattle rations for over 20 years. Experiments have proven the value of poultry manure as a feed supplement, although varying degrees of success have been obtained, he noted. Richter warned that accuracy in mixing is much more important when utilizing poultry waste in beef cattle rations. F. M. Peacock, long-time animal husbandman at Ona, covered breeding crossbred cattle. He reported that while information from studies conducted is limited, "they suggest that crossbred x 96 / THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

crossbred matings may be used to advantage in some production systems," with further studies needed. Following a steak lunch prepared by the Hardee County Cattlemen's Association, the field day concluded with visits to experiments currently underway in the field at the station. Highlights (Continued fom page 90) managers in many large beef cattle, citrus, vegetable and timber firms are wisely utilizing the resources of land, water, vegetation and animals in wellbalanced programs that profitably produce food yet effectively conserve these natural resources. They are investing capital and unquestionably deserve "Green Belt" taxation of their land. Not all landowners who claim to be cattle ranchers have competent land managers or are investing capital or are efficiently utilizing their resources. Research and extension efforts in range science to guide both landowners and legislators in the development of rangeland in Florida have recently been initiated at the University of Florida. More than 12 million acres can provide rangeland grazing resources to augment the three million acres in improved pastures. The future of the beef cattle industry in Florida very largely depends on public encouragement of private owners of large acreages to professionally and profitably develop the potential of their land. The consequences are restrictive legislation, contracts for land-use, roll-back provisions on land sales and much debate about which units qualify as "commercial food producers." A quick review of our answers reveals a long-range prediction of growth for the Florida beef cattle industry provided it remains united, has effective leadership and lobbyists, assures the public that it is conserving Florida's natural resources, is openminded about multiple-use concepts of land-use and most of all is operating each beef producing unit according to a professionally-designed, long-range plan which will provide feed for cattle and food for people at a minimum cost. Another cause for optimism is the outlook for income from Florida beef to be strengthened by a revolution which may soon occur in beef slaughtering, grading, processing and packaging. Current research may enable Florida's superior cross-bred calves and yearlings grown and Finished on a predominantly forage diet to produce an improved, very satisfying quality of beef. The Florida Crop and Livestock Reporting Service reports the average liveweight of cattle slaughtered in Florida during August 1978 was 951 pounds, II pounds below the previous month but 30 pounds above August 1977.

To meet the requirements of the federal mandate, the RCA was signed by Commissioner of Agriculture Doyle Conner and William E. Austin, state conservationist, USDA, Soil Conservation. RCA is an agreement which will provide funds to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services as well as soil and water conservation districts. The document was signed on September 26. It established a program allowing all organizations, groups, agencies and individuals the opportunity to become a part of their own local as well as state and national resource conservation policies by providing an outlet for their view and concerns. The act was designed to appraise the nation's soil and water resources and develop a national soil and water conservation program. The lead agency designated was the Soil Conservation Service. Conner said, "Our department strongly supports this program (RCA) and I urge strong participation among our local districts." For 40 years in Florida, conservation district supervisors (individuals responsible for local conservation district programs) have worked with their friends and neighbors to solve local resource problems. Who better has the contacts and knowledge in their communities to carry out this program than people who work with the problems on a daily basis (than) these supervisors." The grant agreement establishes the department as the administering agency for RCA funds. These funds are earmarked for the direct cost of advertising, holding and recording public meetings, analyzing the public's comments, collecting appraisal data and assisting the SCS in developing a policy and program to further enhance the nation's resources.

requirements of the new law. Explained Conner, "I feel confident that these districts, with the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service, can meet the challenges of this new legislation in providing a public participation process. We, in the department of agriculture, held four state-wide public meetings as part of the RCA program. We realize there are costs involved in furnishing this kind of service to the people. I am very pleased we now have the opportunity, through this agreement, to provide this type of service as well as a complete conservation effort through our district programs." Austin said the agreement provides the SCS another opportunity to put federal funds where they will be of direct benefit to the local people. Austin commented, "Through soil and water conservation districts, the SCS will be able to consider public wishes and systematically develop and keep current soil and water conservation programs that' are in the best long-term interest of Florida and its people." A number of requirements are set forth under the act including a five year national conservation program based on the appraisal which will analyze resource problems and the existing guidelines in dealing with them; the effectiveness of present conservation programs, and alternative methods of achieving conservations goals, taking into account their costs and benefits. Finally, the requirements include an annual evaluation report to Congress which will assess the program's effectiveness and recommendations for future action. Floyd buys at Brahman sale R. C.

Is blended beef a threat to Florida cattlemen? by JAMES R. SIMPSON and ROBERT L. DEGNER University oj Florida B eef prices have risen rapidly since the fall of 1977 much to the pleasure of cattlemen but dismay of consumers. Naturally, as prices continue to spiral upward consumers adjust their diets. An illustration is the recent increases in pork consumption while demand for beef has declined. Complicating the matter somewhat are longer term shifts in tastes and preferences. For example, per capita consumption of ground beef, as a percentage of total beef consumption, has about doubled in the past 10 years. Today, well over 40 percent of all beef is consumed in ground form. The shift in tastes and preferences by Americans to ground beef has several implications for cattlemen. First, this phenomenon probably will not change in the foreseeable future. If anything, ground beef will continue to make up a larger percentage of beef consumption. As ranchers begin rebuilding herds there will be a short supply of the type beef suitable for grinding purposes such as cows, heifers and bulls. Some higher priced cuts from fed cattle may go into grinding and interest in forage feeding cattle will be renewed. We expect that price of lower-priced cuts will continue to increase-which means growing consumer resistance and possibly some type of rebellion at the meat counter. As beef prices increase there will be greater pressure by consumer groups to allow more beef imports as imported beef is well suited for processing and grinding. But potential exporters to the U. S. will also be rebuilding their herds which means there will be some uncertainty about their ability to fulfill quotas. For sure it means that the prices they receive will also be higher. Where does this leave us'? Well, we feel that an important factor is the use of meat analogs derived from vegetable protein, primarily soybeans. We anticipate that the next few years will see a resurgence in the use of synthetic "meat" and blended beef, that is, ground beef blended with textured vegetable protein. This article's purpose is examining the inroad which blended beef can be expected to make in the next few years. Results of a survey of southeast beef' retailers is given to support the conclusions. History of meat substitutes For many years scientists have been trying to convert relatively plentiful and inexpensive plant protein into meat-like products. An ultimate goal of many has been fabrication of meat analogs, meatlike products consisting entirely of vegetable protein. An alternative approach has been the development of meat extenders, products which can be blended with meat to make them "go further .'' Some extenders also have desirable functional properties. For example, soy flour has been used at rates up to 3 percent for more than 40 years as a binder in processed meats. Taste and texture problems have plagued meat analogs and extenders when used at levels greater than 31/2 percent until recent years. By the mid-sixties, many of the problems have been overcome, and meat substitutes and extenders made from isolated soy protein and textured soy flour appeared in meat patties, chile and pizza toppings. By 1966 isolated soy protein fibers manufactured by an extrusion process appeared. Soy utilization in meat extension (extenders are dilutents in processed or comminuted meats) achieved its first significant breakthrough in the U. S. in February 1971 when a 30 percent maximum level was approved by the USDA for use in the government subsidized school lunch program. In effect, it meant a whole new generation would be accustomed to eating texturized vegetable protein. Early 1973 saw a response to rapidly escalating fresh meat prices. Several retail food chains reacted by pioneering the commercialization of texturized vegetable protein in red meat by adding the product to hamburger. After this, there was a rush by most of the nation's retailers to emulate this product so that, by middle 1974, many major retailers carried hamburger consisting of approximately 25 percent soy and 75 percent natural meat and fat. While the number of plants and firms producing textured vegetable protein declined during the recent period of low red meat prices, technological developments continued to be made and improved meat substitutes are awaiting a more favorable economic climate and will emerge when meat prices increase once again. Future of beef substitutes Manufacturers of meat analogs and extenders have the most difficult part of new product development behind them. A 1972 USDA study by Gallimore in which it was observed that some of the constraints to further sales were consumer acceptability, labeling laws, high advertising costs, and further product improvement is out of date because in just a few years these obstacles have been overcome and the few remaining technological problems such as taste and color are considered minor. Manufacturers continue to make improvements. More significantly, the analogs, extenders and enrichment additives have a firm place in the market. The question of labeling and regulation which were major concerns a few years ago have been more or less successfully resolved and the public has generally accepted soy protein foods. Of greatest significance is the time dimension. Meat-like foods have become commonplace in a decade. Producers of soy protein foods, or yeast grown protein foods, or whatever the protein source, will fight for a greater share of the market and research will continue at an accelerated pace as the profit potential increases. Anyone in doubt of the synthetic meat market's importance and size should read some magazines like Food Technology, Food Processing, etc. The ultimate target of the companies selling extenders or analogs will be to simulate common cuts of meat, especially those without bone such as roasts, swiss steak, boneless sirloin, etc. They know that the current school children will accept meat-like products when they become adults because many have already eaten them as children in school lunchrooms. Survey oJibod retailers A survey of meat merchandisers in 15 southeast food retail chains representing more than 600 stores was carried out during March 1978 to determine prevailing attitudes about blended beef, meat analogs and merchandisers' experiences with them. The objective was to estimate the effect of higher beef prices on the adoption of blended beef and synthetics. Responses were varied, but general patterns developed. Most merchandisers reported that ground beef represented 25-35 percent of retail sales. The range was from 10 to 40 percent. At the time of the interviews the price of regular hamburger ranged from 50.88 to SI .09 per pound. Twenty percent of the chains obtained their hamburger from distribution centers. The larger chains, representing 93 percent of the stores, prepared their ground beef at the store. About 60 percent of the firms indicated they would try the product if hamburger reached 51.29 per pound and 70 percent felt they would try blended beef when hamburger reached $1.49 per pound. There were mixed reactions to adopting the product. Most seem quite cautious. About 80 percent of the chains had tried blended beef, starting in late 1973 or early 1974. Almost half of those who tried blending did so because of price. About one-fourth tried blended beef because of curiosity, while the remainder offered the product due to competitive pressure. What has been the permanent adoption rate? Out of 12 who reported marketing the product, only two still 10o TilE Fl.ORIDA CATTEI.EMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

offer it. Most of those who discontinued the line did so within the first year. Low volume was the major complaint. One reported the drop in beef prices as the reason while consuneer complaints on taste was the reason given by another chain. Blended beef was priced at 10-25 cents per pound less than regular beef with 15-20 cents being the most common differential. Most stores reported that blended beef never exceeded 10 percent of all ground beef sales. However, one firm that sitll carried the product indicated that their sales of blended beef reached 40-50 percent of total ground beef sales during the peak periods of 1973-74. The reason given was a heavy commitment to the product and substantial advertising. There do not seem to be any serious difficulties with blended beef even though stores received some customer complaints. The conclusion we draw is that most technical difficulties can be overcome by a good commitment to the product and quality control. The chains which did not offer the product gave as reasons a reluctance to try new products, fear of consumer resistance and concern about quality control by employees. The major conclusion which can be drawn is that the managers are primarily concerned about quality control. They recognize the need to skillfully blend the product. Several of the respondents indicated they would try the product again if they could purchase it already mixed from a central supplier, such as those now distributing boxed beef. In this alternative the supplier would mix the product with coarse ground beef, pack it in chubs and distribute to the stores where the final grinding and packaging take place. Another relatively new innovation is sale of patties by central processors to the institutional trade and retailers. We believe that these are economical and efficient methods which are likely to gain in importance in the next two years. None of the meat managers reported selling other ground meat products that contain textured vegetable protein in their fresh meat departments although some did report good sales in the frozen line and the deli. About onethird of the respondents felt that blended beef would make no inroads during 1978 while another third felt that sales would increase by 5-10 percent. When asked to predict the share that blended beef would have of the ground beef market by 1985, one said 15 percent, one 20 percent, two estimated 25 percent and one 30 percent. The others declined to respond. At the peak of prices in this beef cycle (probably 1983-85) we feel blended beef sales will constitute at least 10-15 percent of the United States ground beef market. Potential market share The textured vegetable protein portion of blended beef could displace a consi23rd ANNUAL OCALA BULL SALE "Where Quality is Plainly Marked" TUESDAY JANUARY 9, 1979 11:00 A.M.

Overall, cattle markets are expected to be strong with the only potential problems in the near term. Rather severe downward fluctuations are likely in early October and mid-November. Fed cattle prices at Omaha averaged $53-54 in September. Prices could drop below $53 in late October and early November with recovery to $55-56 by year end. Feeder cattle prices should continue strong despite occasional fluctuations. High $60s are expected for choice 400500 pound steers in the spring. Slaughter cow prices advanced $2 in September. Prices will continue to advance as cull cows are withheld for herd rebuilding. Hog prices averaged $46-49 in September with considerable strength at months end.

For example, if total per capita beef consumption amounts to 130 pounds by 1985, if 30 percent is in ground form (at retail) and if 15 percent of the ground form contains tvp on a 25 percent meat displacement basis, then slightly over 340 million pounds of beef could be displaced. The calculations are shown below. Hypothetical Example for 1985 Retail Sales Per Total capital consamptiona OWhs mnIilion lhs) Estimated beef consumpion "Amount contrned ground (30'>) Amount containing tvy ii I) Am oun of beef replaced by Iy25: y ) 30.0 30,420.0 39.0 9,126.0 5.9 ,3"0.6 1.48 346.3 projected population of 234 million The calculations indicate that about one percent of total beef sold at retail would contain tvp under the above assumptions. The rapidity with which adoption will take place depends on consumer protests about higher prices, the price relationship of soybeans to beef, the success of some large chains in increasing sales, and the promotional efforts that will accompany reintroduction of the product. Another factor is the adoption rate of new products such as "breakfast meat" or "beef jerky" which could also be blended. Our overall conclusions are that because of timing, blended beef gained a relatively large share of the ground beef market when it was initially introduced in 1973. But, the product was scarcely introduced when cattle prices plummeted. Meat managers were only testing the product and the beef price drop signaled a way back to traditional practices. Retailers learned much about blended beef during 1973 and 1974, either from their own mistakes or those of others. The next time they offer it, they will undoubtedly improve the product by exercising better quality control. We are in a new situation today. Boxed beef distribution is now a generally accepted practice and the same distributors will be able to distribute blended beef as well. Perhaps the major factor is the consumer. Hamburger consumption as a percentage will probably continue to rise. Since supplies of this type beef will not expand rapidly enough from now until 1981 to 1982 to meet the demand, blending is the inevitable answer. Cattlemen and blended beef Is blended beef a naughty word to be shunned and despised by American cattlemen? What defense does the cattleman have against erosion of his profits by blended beef? We will attempt to answer some of these questions. Our opinion is that blended beef will become a major market item in the next decade even though soy protein will only replace about one percent of beef at the retail level.

Harrell operation covered in WSJ An insight into how a modern cow enterprise functions was covered indepth by a Wall Street Journal reporter in a front page story September I. June Kronholz, the staff reporter, compared the old, romantic storybook cowboy times with the computer, certified public accountant staff and a fulltime nutritionist employed by the Harrells, which makes the firm one of the more efficient operations of its kind in the COLIntr. Wallace Harrell was quoted as saying, "We're being forced to modernize and be more efficient if we're going to survive this economic jungle." Harrell Cattle Company, with assets of $8.4 million and revenue last year of $7.2 million, is a diversified, vertically integrated and professionally managed operation, the article points out. Harrell and his brother, Maurice, started the business as an order-buying firm in 1958 with a $3000 loan. They now operate a feedlot, commercial cattle and a purebred Beefinaster herd. Barfield named to vice presidency The Southeastern Beefmaster Breeders Association held its annual meeting in Jackson, Mississippi, September 22, and elected a new slate of officers and three new directors to serve in 1979. Fred Looper, Jackson, Tennessee, was named president; Fred Barfield, Immokalee, vice-president; Seth Smith, Franklin, Tennessee, secretary-treasurer. Dan Morgan is the current president, serving out the 1978 term. Directors added to the board include: Wayne Garrett, Dalton, Georgia; Dick Pritchett, Ohatchee, Alabama, and Jennie Lee Zipperer, Ft. Myers. Directors completing terms January I are: Cary Johnson, Scotts Hill, Tennessee; Cochran Scott, Thomasville, Georgia; and Barfield. Other directors are: H. L. McCullars, Ohatchee, Alabama; Joe Hendricks, Sandia, Texas; Ronnie Perkins, Clewiston; R. W. Thompson, Mandeville, Louisiana; and H. F. Arnold, River Ridge, Louisiana.

IARRELL BULLS ... MORE THAN JUST BIG Harrell Beefmaster bulls are big and they'll produce big calves. Genetics dictates that. But more important, they'll produce calves your cows can have. Harrell Beefmasters are selected for the essentials of beef production, that's what has made them popular, but that's not the only thing we breed them for. Harrell bulls are selected for the traits that are important for ease of calving: smooth muscling, length, not too wide through the head and shoulders. After all, getting a calf in the first place is more important and has more to do with the profit picture than getting a big calf. Harrell bulls are big beef producers .and more .they're calf producers. It's one of the money making traits we breed for in our cattle because our customers require it.

The reminder was issued by the National Cattlemen's Association following the announcement that Food Fair, Inc., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had filed for voluntary bankruptcy under federal law. In addition to operating super markets and other businesses in the East, the company has three packing plants-United Packing Co., Denver, Colorado, James Allen & Sons, Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Midtown Veal & Mutton, Newark, New Jersey. The extent to which livestock sellers have not received payment for cattle sold to one of these packers, or have received "insufficient funds" notices on payment checks, was not immediately known. However, NCA and the Colorado Cattle Feeders Association were advising cattlemen of the protection provided under the trust section of the Packers & Stockyards Act enacted in 1976. Tom Remington, NCA marketing committee chairman, and Robert E. Fritzler, Sterling, Colorado, president of the Colorado Feeder group, told cattlemen who have sold livestock to any of the plants involved: Under trust provisions of the law, all livestock purchased in cash sales, inventories of meat, or proceeds from meat and meat product sales shall be held by the packer in trust for the benefit of unpaid cash sellers until full payment has been received by such sellers of livestock. P&S was conducting an audit to determine the amounts which are still due cattlemen for livestock purchased, inventory of product on hand, and amount of receivables from meat and meat products sold by the packers to retailers and others. Also, P&S was moving to set up a trust fund under the P&S Act to assure payment of amounts due for livestock purchased and not paid at the time of the bankruptcy filing on October 2. So far as bonds are concerned, Food Fair was bonded in an amount of $1,060,000 to cover livestock purchases. Reports indicated that Food Fair and its subsidiaries and/or divisions have a total of 25,000 creditors. Food Fair is the nation's eighth largest supermarket chain (Pantry Pride supermarkets). Other parts of the over-all business include discount department stores, a shoe firm and a life insurance company. The company is reported to have been in financial difficulty for some time.

As in earlier censuses, the all-farm and 20 percent sample data will be published for each of more than 3,000 counties with agricultural operations, for each state and the entire nation. In the second phase, additional sample surveys will be made in 1980 for the year 1979. Subjects under consideration for these 10,000 to 50,000 farm samples include: farm energy uses, corporate structure, horticulture, on-farm irrigation, farm labor, and farm finance. New Questions fbr 1978: The census will continue to monitor trends in domestic ownership and control of land. The last census taken in 1974 showed a five-year gain in the number of U. S. corporate farms from 22,000 to 29,000. Land operated by corporations increased from 80 to 97 million acres, and the value of farm products rose from $6 billion to $14 billion. A special corporate survey based on the census showed that most of the corporations were family owned and operated. The apparent increase in foreign ownership of land has raised concern in Congress and elsewhere. In 1974, a Department of Commerce survey showed 4.9 milion acres of farm land were owned by foreign interests, or less than one-half of 1 percent of the total. The 1978 farm census will measure the increase. Must a Farmer Complete and Return His Report Form? To ensure complete coverage, answering census questions has been mandatory since the first census.

Carroll Lamb, right, served as defense counsel during the proceedings, and is addressing the bench presided over by Donald E. Percival. Witness on the stand at far left is Arden Colette of the University of Florida. 'Forestry on Trial!' theme of annual meeting of state forestry organization Members of the Florida Forestry Association were on hand in force for the annual meeting of the organization and to witness the courtroom procedures for the theme "Forestry on Trial!" The session was held at Ponce de Leon Lodge & Country Club, St. Augustine, September 20-21. Wm. Carroll Lamb, Tallahassee, executive vice president, served as counsel for the defense. The "defense witnesses" were the speakers on the program. Lamb pointed out the forest industry is battling biological, economic and political obstacles to try to "make our forests more productive." The speakers discussed the charges and restrictions which face productive forestry and their implications for all forest interests. Presiding judge was Donald E. Percival, forest supervisor, National Forests in Florida, and prosecuting attorney was John A. Beall, Jr., manager of wood procurement, St. Joe Paper Company. Speakers (witnesses) were W. Arden Colette, assistant agricultural economist, University of Florida, Gainesville; Wayne H. Smith, director, center for environmental programs and natural resources, University of Florida, and Howard Hanna, land manager, Container Corporation of America, Fernandina Beach. Just prior to opening the courtroom procedures an audio-visual planned television newscast was presented which brought the news of the trial into perspective to the spectators. Colette's testimony centered around land values and taxes. He refuted any claims that preferential treatment was accorded those engaged in bona fide agricultural pursuits including forestry management. He explained the concept of the "Green Belt" law and its application to agriculture where land is assessed on the value of its present use and not for its future use. In looking at profits, Colette said that the average return on investment in agriculture is 3.5 percent as compared to 6-9 percent in other businesses. It was generally agreed in the proceedings that the green belt aspect is more helpful to the environment than the program of "endangered lands" acquisition by state government. Hanna discussed modern forest management practices. He expressed concern about the influx of new residents to Florida as being dangerous to the environment because of changes to the water supply and other environmental factors. In Smith's appearance on the witness stand, the court was told of the environmental research underway, at the University, largely due to land grants given by industrial forest owners for research purposes. He said such research is vital with Florida's nine million residents and 30 million visitors annually. In its decision the court ruled the defendant was guilty, not of the charges, but guilty of doing everything within its power to inform the public of the importance of forestry to the environment and working to establish public confidence. The sentence was "probation for one year." Officers elected at the annual session were L. A. "Len" Woodward, manager of lands and timber, Buckeye Cellulose Corporation, Perry, president; John E. Anderson, St. Regis Allied Operations, Jacksonville, first vice president; Elliot Maguire, Maguire Timber Company, Green Cove Springs, second vice president, and Beall, secretary-treasurer. lii / THE FLORIDA CATTIEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978 Purebred Santa Gertrudis Wi instead Plantation Philip G.

President urged to sign import bill The National Cattlemen's Association is strongly urging President Carter to sign legislation designed to improve and strengthen the Meat Import Act of 1964. This was pointed out by Richard A. McDougal, president of NCA, following House and Senate passage of HR 11545 to amend the Meat Import Law. Most of the provisions-including a counter-cyclical import quota formula and limits on the President's authority to suspend quotas-meet objectives which long have been sought by NCA and the beef cattle industry, McDougal said. After the House completed action October 13, the NCA executive committee voted to seek final enactment of the amendments. The Senate subsequently (on October 15) voted to accept HR 11545. Because Congress was near adjournment as the House acted, there was not time for a conference which would have included consideration of Senate-passed amendments. However, McDougal noted, the bill as finally passed by the House (on a vote of 289 to 66) and by the Senate (by voice vote) does include certain provisions of the Senate's previous Bentsen bill. The administration previously voiced opposition to parts of HR 11545 and sought in both houses to prevent its passage. However, NCA indicated, the large Congressional majorities in favor of the bill should help convince President Carter of the basic value of the legislation to consumers as well as the cattle industry. Said McDougal, "We are urging President Carter to recognize that this legislation is in the best interests of both our industry and the public, and to sign it into law." 112 / THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

Ranchers can learn to cope with problems by BRUCE ABBITT and G. W. MEYERHOLZ, DVM's University of Florida Difficult calvings (dystocias) threaten the life of both the cow and calf.

Water and soap or sanitizer to 116 THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978 cleanse hands and arms and to clean up area around the birth canal. As discussed previously, the cow should be restrained and examined after 1.5 to two hours (heifers two to three hours) of second stage labor (water bag out or straining). The hands and arms of the person making the examination and area around the birth canal should be thoroughly cleansed to avoid infection. Remember that the calf can remain alive for about six hours in the cow. Time taken to be clean will increase the cow's chance of breeding back. The examination should determine why the cow is not able to deliver the calf. The most frequently encountered problems are briefly discussed below: 1) Torsion or incomplete dilation: If the birth canal feels twisted, a veterinarian should be called. If there is a ring of tissue which makes the birth canal smaller in one area, and the water bag is not out, the cow is probably not yet in second stage labor. Allowing the cow another 30 to 60 minutes may be enough time for calving to proceed. If calving does not proceed within one hour and the birth canal is still not dilated, a veterinarian should be called. 2) Abnormal presentation: The normal position at birth is both front feet first, head tucked in tightly between legs with top side up; or both hind feet first with body upright. Any other positions are abnormal and will result in dystocias. Time should be spent to determine exactly how the calf is presented. If you are unable to determine what is wrong, correction is generally impossible and, therefore, professional help is essential. Often it may be possible to push the calf back and thus create enough room to bring a leg, etc., into the correct position for delivery. If you cannot correct the calf's position in approximately 30 minutes, stop and call a veterinarian for assistance. Only after correcting the position should any force be applied to pull the calf and then only the force two men can apply. 3) Oversize calf (frontwards) with hiplock: The calf may be too large even with both feet and head in the birth canal. The calf's hips are wider than the shoulders and they may catch when the calf is halfway out (hiplock), which can be fatal to both calf and cow. This can be prevented by using good judgment in deciding whether to attempt pulling the calf or to have a veterinarian remove the calf in sections (fetotomy) or perform a caesarian section. To pull the calf, chains should be attached above the fetlock with a half-hitch just above the hoof. One man should attempt to pull one of the forelegs to a point where the calf's knee is a hand's-breadth out of the birth canal. While you hold this leg in position, a second man (if available) should attempt to pull the second leg out an equal distance. If both forelegs can be advanced a hand's breadth past the knee, then the calf can be delivered by force without damage to the dam or calf.

PAGE 113

Occasionally a calf's hips will catch (hiplock) when the calf is halfway out. When this happens, stop and stimulate the calf to breathe. An attempt should then be made to push the calf back a few inches and rotate the calf's body one quarter turn. Then pull straight back when the cow strains. The hiplocked calf will live 30 to 60 minutes if pulling is done only while the cow is straining. 4) Oversize calf (backwards): With both rear feet in the birth canal, the calf can be delivered if the point of both hocks can be brought through the birth canal with minimal force. To determine if this can be done, the calf should be rotated one quarter turn and, with one man pulling on both rear legs, attempt to bring the points of the hocks out of the birth canal. If this succeeds, the calf can be safely pulled. Allow the calf to return to an upright position after the hips come through the birth canal. Remember that when a calf is born backwards, the naval cord is broken or squeezed shut sooner and the calf may suffocate inside the cow. The calf should be delivered as rapidly as possible once it starts through the birth canal, assistance given to remove any fluids from the calf's nose and mouth, and artificial respiration applied if needed. At no time should more force be used to deliver the calf than two or three men can supply. Additional force will often damage both the calf and cow. If no progress is made in 30 minutes of trying to deliver a calf, then a reevaluation of the problem should be made or a veterinarian should be consulted. Once delivered, splashing a bucketful of cold water on the head or inserting a straw 2-3 inches into the calf's nostrils in combination with brisk rubbing will often stimulate the calf's breathing. Many difficult calvings can be handled by cattlemen, but the conditions for attempting to help calving should be discussed with the herd veterinarian. The cattleman who has the skill and equipment to handle simple dystocias will save money and calves. However, most complications are best handled by a veterinarian. The cattleman who recognizes this early and seeks professional help will save more money and calves. In addition, proper handling of difficult carvings will help prevent rebreeding problems that frequently occur in cows after dystocias. The Florida Chamber of Commerce reports that Florida's retail sales totaled $35 billion in 1977 representing almost five percent of the total U.S. retail sales and nearly a 13 percent increase over the previous year's total. Inventory of hogs and pigs on September 1 in the 14 states conducting quarterly hog surveys was estimated at 48.9 million head, one percent below a year earlier but nearly equal to two years ago, says USDA. 1 Beef Cattle Science Ensminger ..26.00 2 Handbook of Livestock Equipment, E.

A number of dignitaries were on hand including J. W. Landers, secretary, Department of Environmental Regulation in Tallahassee. The facility will be equipped with highly sophisticated instruments needed to perform about 40,000 phosphorus and nitrogen analyses a year. The laboratory will accumulate data in support of the Upland project study to determine the feasibility of detaining and/or retaining agricultural runoff as a solution to the water quality problems in the lower Kissimmee Valley and Taylor Creek-Nubbin Slough Basin. A history of the laboratory shows that following a series of scientific investigations by the South Florida Water Management District, the DER and the Department of Administration, the 1976 Florida Legislature created the "Coordinating Council on the Restoration of the Kissimmee River Valley and Taylor Creek-Nubbin Slough Basin." Recommendations made by the council to the 1977 Legislature included a proposal to move ahead with a research and demonstration project on utilizing upland detention/retention and a low cost and low energy mechanism to begin restoration of certain beneficial aspects of the valley and the basin. The proposed "Upland Detention/Retention Demonstration Project" was supported and funded by the Florida Legislature. The idea of upland detention/retention in Kissimmee was originally advanced by the "Special Project to Prevent Eutrophication of Lake Okeechobee" and was then developed into a planned research program by the council. The project seeks to determine whether the detention/retention of runoff in the uplands and routing the flow through natural or restored setlands is truly an effective and affordable management practice to improve and protect the environment of the Kissimmee-Okeechobee system. Early in the development process the council approached the district to do the necessary engineering, design, hydrological data collection and water quality monitoring for the project. In order to meet the large requirements of the project it was necessary for the district to expand its analytical facilities and it was decided that the best way to do this was to create the Okeechobee Laboratory. Okeechobee was chosen for the site because of convenience. The project is under the management of Fred Davis, director of the division of water chemistry and will employ its own professional, technical and field staffs. G. B. "Bret" Oglesby and Mary Lou Smith have already joined the staff. Oglesby is a chemical engineer and Miss Smith is analytical chemist. Land owners who are giving permission to use their pastures and dairies as study sites include Bass Ranch; Latt Maxcy Corporation; Lykes Brothers, and SEZ Dairy. Following the dedication ceremonies a tour of the new facility was conducted. Western Heritage Averages $8239 An average of $8238.81 was struck on 16 and three-quarter head of Santa Gertrudis bulls and females at the 1978 Western Heritage Sale, held recently in Houston, Texas. The Santa Gertrudis cattle sold at the event grossed $138,000. The sale also saw a gross of $213,000 on the registered Quarter Horses and $295,945 on the western art sold at the event. The black tie affair is jointly sponsored by Connally Ranches, Floresville, Texas; Joe Marchman, Meridian, Texas; Rex Cauble, John Justin and Louis Pearce, all of Texas; and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. A record price for a Santa Gertrudis heifer was set at the event when Basil Farms, Franklin, Georgia, paid $20,000 for a daughter of Cosgrove 10, consigned by Cosgrove Ranches, Coalgate, Oklahoma. Top selling bull was consigned by Connally Ranches and sold for $26,000 to David Murdock, Los Angeles, California. The event was held at Houston's Shamrock Hilton Hotel with Gerald Bowie, West Point, Georgia, auctioneering. AATA sets Canadian meeting The Animal Air Transportation Association (AATA) will hold its fourth international meeting November 7-9, 1978, at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, Canada, AATA President Robert L. Hummer, a consulting veterinarian of San Antonio, Texas, said the 3-day meeting will feature discussion and training sessions of interest to persons involved with the air transportation of both large animals, such as livestock and zoo animals, and smaller animals, such as pets. The program also involves technical discussion of aircraft construction, equipment, and ground facilities related to animal transportation. Contacts in Canada are Dr. Harry C.

Blended beef (Continuedlromi page 103) men is not blended beef, but complete substitutes. Thus, strategies must take both products into account. It is unlikely that cattlemen can legislate blended beef out of the picture and advertising against the product probably will produce few positive results. As a consequence, we suggest that an economic approach will yield the most fruitful results. The reason that meat market managers and consumers are interested in blended or complete soy products is because of a cost advantage. Thus, cattlemen can best fight the use of soy analogs by pushing for, and adopting, new technologies which will help reduce production and marketing costs. One immediate action that cattlemen as a group can take is fighting to have money to be spent on research. Now that the beef checkoff proposal can be approved by a simple majority rather than a two-thirds vote, every effort should be made to get the proposal passed by cattlemen. A substantial part of the funds should be used for research on cost reducing methods. Just as scientists developed meat analogs, researchers can also make great advances on reducing beef production and marketing costs if they can count on strong industry support. The question is: Will the industry take an offensive position or will they continue to fight a defensive battle? Census (Continued from page 108) census employees who are sworn not to disclose the data and are subject to severe penalties if they violate their oath. There has never been a case of a Census Bureau employee even being accused of divulging personal information collected in a census. What Is the Definition of a Farm? Places which yield $1,000 or more in the sales of agricultural products in 1978 are considered farms for the purposes of the Census of Agriculture. However, the Census Bureau will tabulate data for all agricultural operations regardless of their size. When Will the County Reports Be Published? Census report forms mailed in late December 1978 will be received by farmers a few days later. The Bureau expects to publish individual county data from October 1979 to March 1980. Price fight continued With the adjournment of Congress, the American Agriculture Movement (AAM) emphasized it is Congress that was leaving the city, not the AAM. A farewell message was read on the steps of USDA, punctuated by the dumping of a truckload of corn onto the street in front of the building. TRAIL-RITE Trailer Mfg.

Native Floridians combine education and farming In Diversified by EHTEL HALES STANCIL William "Bill" and Betty Teuton Fish, who live on their farm near Anthony, in northern Marion County, are both native Floridians. Bill grew up in Baker County in north Florida at a place called Sanderson. Raised on a farm, he was one of 12 children. His father died when he was six and his mother, Mrs. Sarah Kennedy, stayed on the farm and raised her children. The family raised cattle, timber, turpentine and pecans. Betty grew up near the spot where she now lives and where her parents Hugh and Ethel Teuton still live. The Teutons are likewise lifelong residents of Marion County. Mrs. Teuton's parents were John and Nettie Hall of Burbank, who lived on the Oklawaha River. Bill and Betty met when Bill came to Anthony to teach his first year in its high school. The Fish farm has Angus and Hereford cattle. They also raise Coastal Bermuda hay and some vegetables for the market, concentrating at the present time on egg plants. Their son Tim, 17, and Bill are partners in the production of these vegetables which must be harvested by hand. The Fishes always grow a large spring garden with friends sharing in the family operation work and use of the vegetables. In the fall there is a smaller one. Bill is the adept gardener. The family enjoyed butternut squash this summer, finding them delightful baked with butter and brown sugar. Betty also substituted eggplant for the pasta in her lasagna recipe and was pleased with the resulting dish which has fewer calories. Betty says that she finds contenda string beans which she freezes as good as the canned product for the table, if she is careful not to overcook them. She also freezes and cans many other varieties of vegetables and fruits. The family raises its own beef for the freezer. Betty prefers her beef roasts browned and covered with foil before baking in a 350 degree oven for about 1/2 hour per pound. Tim enjoyed especially livestock projects when he was in 4-H, but he is interested in all phases of farm workraising the cattle, vegetables, making hay, etc. The family is active in the Marion County Cattleman's Association. Daughter Connie is married to Dale Sauls of Anthony and they are partners in Seiler's Dairy, in which they both work. Connie also was an outstanding 4-H'er. She won several trips including one to the National 4-H Congress in Chicago. She won the trip on beef judging. Betty says it is impossible to say too much about the benefits which their children derived from 4-H. She definitely feels that the training of our youth in 4-H projects helps to prepare them to become well-rounded self-sufficient citizens for life, sure to make unusual contributions along the way. Betty started college when her baby started kindergarten. She handled the triple role of mother-wife-college student so well that after graduating from Central Florida Junior College she went on to graduate from the University of Florida at Gainesville with high honors. But she is quick to say that without the wholehearted support of Bill and her children this would have been impossible. Betty teaches 4th grade at Oakcrest and was named "Teacher of the Year." Also she is working on her Master's degree in early childhood education. She has been teaching for seven years. Bill, formerly superintendent of public instruction in Marion County, is principal of Sparr Elementary School. The Fishes are active in the Anthony Methodist Church, where Betty is chairperson of the administrative board. Bill is past chairman of this board and is presently on the finance committee. 122 / [HE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978 Some items and recipes Someone said it costs $1000 in wasted film to learn to make acceptable movies. One thing is certain: it takes practice-to take any good pictures! The instant pictures we made with our camera in Alaska tell the story of our trip. One of the real beauties of such a camera is of course the instant pictures. If one doesn't turn out satisfactorily you can just take another! Our movies-well some are good and some perfectly terrible, but added to the frustration is the poor job the developer did. On one roll a piece of sticky tape was left so that it interfered with the operation of the projector and caused damage to the film! When the tops of your hose wear and the feet are still good-cut the tops off say calf-leg-length and wear them as shorties. They are cool and comfortable. During this rainy weather I try to dust my rose bushes 2-3 times a week. The George Washington one was up to 8-feet and we cut it back again, leaving only 34 feet. It is budding out madly already and has several buds. What to bring the folks back home from a picturesque spot you have visited? We bought small colorful picture postcards from glacier country, Alaska which we have framed. On the back I placed a descriptive label. These are meeting acceptances. I was told in Alaska that it costs $1000 to produce a post card master. The scenes are lovely, and I know much effort is made to get them just right. We are pleased that 5-year old Darcee who was so ill in April with low blood calcium is able to attend kindergarten. She still must go weekly for blood tests and take the usual medications but her level of calcium remains normal. Her energy level is such that she is physically able to attend a swimming class two afternoons a week also. Kip who will be four in January accompanies her for the latter. Stephanie who will be three next month is trying to learn to use scissors. Do you recall when cutting wasn't easy? The process surely requires different muscles from that of many hand-tasks. When the cutting gets too difficult she simply tears her picture out-which she can do pretty well. Soon-to-be nine-months-old Karen does not understand what is behind the "tearing" and the example is not good for her-for she has learned to protect books and not tear them!! It may be better for Stephanie to tear in private! Grandsons Ted (16) and Alex (13) spend most of their spare time with us on the farm and they have learned many skills here. They took care of the chores and kept an eye on the cattle while we were on vacation. Georgeanne and Glenn enjoy square dancing. We used to. Were it not for my legs which move rather slowly since the accident that broke them badly, I think we would too! Square dancing groups take cruises, foreign land tours, etc. We noticed a square dance tour group in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Haddox, extension director, Lake County, at the annual meeting in Gainesville. water quality studies in the county and district; compilation of the history of Orange County agriculture into book form entitled "Countdown for Agriculture;" establishment of an agriculture museum at the agricultural center; contact and affiliation with civic organizations such as the Rotary Club in Orlando. Over the years Swanson has acted as a "one man Chamber of Commerce"'in telling the story of agriculture and agribusiness in the area. Swanson chose the county agent professon when he graduated from high school in Eustis and at that time he was quoted in the school's yearbook as saying "We owe it all to 4-H." A firm believer in 4-H activities, he gave constant attention and support to the area organizations during his tenure in extension work. Reflecting on the years, Swanson says it was the "greatest blessing in the world," in knowing what he wanted to do and doing it for 30 years. Nominations sought for dairy recognition The Central Florida Fair is now seeking nominations to the 1979 Florida Dairy Hall of Fame. According to Carroll L. "Bud" Ward, Jr., Astatula, nominations are solicited from all over Florida, not just from central Florida. The Dairy Hall of Fame was started in 1977 to honor individuals who have "Given unselfishly of their time and effort in the development of the Florida Dairy Industry." Henry F. Swanson, Orlando, in charge of the Dairy Hall of Fame, says that nominees could have made their contributions years ago or still be active in the industry today. They also could be in any number of activities such as milk production, processing, distribution, sales and promotions, research, legislation or related endeavors. The Florida Dairy Hall of Fame nominations close on December 31, 1978 and the awards will be given out by the Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Doyle Conner on March 2, 1979 at a special recognition banquet during the Central Florida Fair. Nomination forms are available upon request from the Central Florida Fair 124 / THE IFLORI)A CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

>1)-u> Researchers have developed rumen bypass techniques to study amino acid utilization. It was learned that certain amino acids bypass the rumen destruction and pass on to the lower digestive tract where they are utilized more efficiently. A high percentage of the performed protein contained in PRO-LIX passes by the rumen action and is utilized more efficiently. Improved animal performance is the result. The red and white Pro-Lix emblem on your delivery truck assures that you are using the highest quality liquid feed produced. Pro-Lix is uniquely fermented, fortified and homogenized to be the richest in the best of natural proteins. Behind the Pro-Lix emblem is exacting quality control, imaginative research and development and a dynamic national servicing organization. {~~~e FM eA~ ~ A~~~i THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978 / 125 ...

Hofi/ra Dep. o/ Agricultrn-e With the start of the football season, it won't be long before we will have our first frost. With the first frost, we will start to see cases of plant poisoning in cattle. From all indications, it appears that we have a bumper crop of poisonous plants. Livestock owners should start checking their pastures and fence rows now for poisonous plants. Any poisonous plants you find should be immediately destroyed. Mowing is the most effective means of control. However, in some instances, spraying is more effective. A third, but less desirable, choice is to move the animals from the pastures. Usually the first plant poisoning cases that we see after the first frost are due to ingestion of Coffee Bean or Coffee Senna (Cassia occidentalis). Cossia occidenialis is common to lots and fields. It is usually found in areas where the ground has been broken. Normally, the plant does not grow in pastures with heavy sod cover. Cassia occidenialis is a weed that grows from two to five feet in height. The leaves are pointed and usually are a drab green color. The seed pod, which is 3-5 inches long, is quite characteristic. It is quite slender with transverse bars, green when immature and brown when mature and dry. The pod curves upward and contains many small oval seeds with rounded tips at one end. Each seed resembles a small tick that is partially engorged with blood. Cassia occidentalis can be confused with Cassia obtusifjbia, which is a non-toxic Coffee Bean that grows in our area. The seed pods of Cassia oblusijblia are very similar in size and structure to those of Cassia occidelga/is except that they curve downward rather than upward and the seeds are diamond-shaped rather than round. Cassie obtusifjlia seldom will produce any serious losses. Coffee Bean Poisoning has been a problem in areas where cattle have been turned into old cornfields to clean up the corn. Ingestion of Cassia occidenalis produces a degeneration of the skeletal muscles, especially those of the hind limb. On cows that we have examined, we have found large pale areas in the muscles of the hindlegs. This condition can be easily mistaken for White Muscle Disease, which is due to a Selenium deficiency. Affected animals are unable to stand; however, even though the animal is down, it will remain bright and

A few days after the animal becomes ill, the urine will develop a dark (coffeecolored) color. The color of the urine may deepen after it is exposed to sunlight. This dark color of the urine is due to the presence of myoglobin or muscle pigment. In addition, the animal will be constipated and the feces may be coated with a thick mucous. There is no specific treatment or antidote for Coffee Bean Poisoning. A good laxative, plus good care, may help the animal to recover. Other poisonous plants that we must be on the lookout for at this time include Crotalaria, Lantana and Bag Pod or Coffee Weed (Glottidiumt esicarium). Bag Pod or Coffee Weed has often been confused with Coffee Bean (Cassia occidentalis). Other than for the name "coffee," there is very little relationship between these two plants. Bag Pod is a much taller plant than Coffee Bean, its leaves are much smaller and the seed pod is large, bladder-like and contains only two relatively large (I /2" long) yellow-brown to greenishblack seeds. Ingestion of these seeds will produce a severe diarrhea. It has been reported that animals will develop a craving for Bag Pod and will consume quantities of it even when good forage is available. There is no known treatment for Bag Pod Poisoning. USDA okays bacterin to prevent liver infection USDA has approved a new bacterin for preventing redwater disease, a bacterial infection of the liver in cattle. Redwater disease, or bacillary hemoglobinuria, is a serious infection in cattle that occurs when liver flukes infest the animals, causing liver damage favorable to the bacteria's growth. Liver flukes are found most often in wet, poorly drained pastures. The bacterin, in the form of a soluble pellet, is implanted directly into the animal's flesh by an air-powered rifle. A second barrel administers a marker fluid at the same time to identify the innoculated animal. Pierre A. Chaloux, deputy administrator of USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said the USDA approval to produce the new form of Clostridium Haemolyticum Bacterin was granted to a Kansas City, Missouri, firm. USDA license provides approval of the label, manufacturer's claims, warnings and directions for use-as well as approving the manufacturer's process. Tests are required to assure the continued quality of all products. Readministration of the bacterin is recommended every five or six months in areas where reexposure to the bacteria is likely.

It has been said that the early 1980's will be "crucial to the future of the entire beef industry." From what can be gathered in observing and listening it appears that next year's cow prices will be the highest in history. All types of cattle will be in demand and dealers will be out looking for numbers to fill their orders. From here it would seem to behoove producers to stay with the practices previously observed; take care of your cows; follow your normal programs; don't play games and try to outsmart the market. A sound thought would be not to forget the folks that bought your calves when they were cheap. And if the buyer wanted them a certain way then, remember to oblige him the next time with the kind he prefers. It's good business. On into the next few years we're sure to see a drop in per capita supplies of beef. Some have predicted as much as 25 percent. This ties into increased profits, profits which are certainly overdue for the cowman. But there will be a consumer reaction everyone in the industry has to be alert for. Because of the drop in beef supplies people will be forced to cut back. And because of the resultant high prices at the supermarket, consumers could well begin to look around for beef substitutes. This they may do reluctantly at first. But if these synthetic products start to be accepted in the American diet, an area of competition could be established and make inroads on the beef industry's share of the food dollar. Additionally, the declining supplies are in tandem with a mounting attack by opponents of beef. This has been indicated by the emphasis being placed on nutrition policy in the political sector. The future of the beef industry is at stake. In time, the industry will move into another cattle cycle as based on past history. Increased supplies will be on hand at the marketplace. What the price future holds then will depend largely on what is done in the interim period of short supply. The demand should be kept strong now and then. One way to do this is through promotion and education. Programs are being planned to better inform the consumer about beef. These programs need the support of all in the industry. Those on the other side of the fence will be spending millions on the advantages of the meat analogs and extenders over red meat. What's with the 1980's? No doubt the industry will be facing a crucial period. But by doing your job at the ranch; by doing right by your cow herd; doing right by your buyers, and giving your support to the necessary educational and promotional programs, the period of cruciality might not be too burdensome. Of postal rates and politics If you encountered a 33.7 percent cost increase in one segment of your business, you'd begin to wonder what is happening. Especially if it happened within a two month period. And if you look back and figure that since May, 1971, the increase has amounted to over 400 percent, then you'd have to stoP and take inventory. Well, those are the second-class postage rate increases assessed in that period to magazines such as The Florida Cattleman in the period since 1971. Large circulation magazines such as Time, Business Week, etc., get a break on costs through the allowance by the Postal Commission for a pre-sort discount of approximately two cents per copy. We say this is discriminatory. And we'd appreciate it the next time you are talking with your Senator or Congressman, to give mention to this postal situation. It seems to have political overtones. And on the political picture. Don't forget and vote in November. It's wholly your decision on the candidates and the revisions to the Florida Constitution, some of which will surely have a bearing on you as a property owner. Give some thought to them. Your vote on Tuesday, November 7, is vitally important. 130 / THE FLORIDA CATTLEMAN / NOVEMBER 1978

IT CAN BE The Angus herd shown below has been on P.D.Q. for over four generations. P.D.Q. Protein Mineral Supplements are the direct result of many years of LABORATORY RESEARCH AND ACTUAL FIELD TESTING. P.D.Q. incorporates the very best proven scientific discoveries in the field of animal nutrition to give the livestock owner an economical and effective way to achieve BETTER FEEDING RESULTS. Many Products, new and old, have tried to equal P.D.Q. SUPPLEMENTS-but because P.D.Q. is specially processed, it offers many extra benefits that can't be DUPLICATED by ordinary mineral supplements. This is why the profit-minded stockman uses P.D.Q. Comparative tests and feeding trials by ranchers, dairymen, feedlot operators, and horsemen have proven P.D.O. IS MORE-AND DOES MORE-for less money than plain mineral mixtures and supplements. Be sure and feed P.D.Q. to all your beef cattle, dairy cattle and horses. YOU'LL SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE!
