"aCt.le do very well in this val
Icy being. as rule free from Dis
ease and from many OF tho troubles
common in other places. With aver
age good management cattle raising
is almost sure to succeed In t,is sec
ltion.
Cache valley Ia noted for b, cs-
cellent herds Of both firade and pure
bred cattle. Holsteins and Jer ,eys
are the leading breeds used, with tn ,
Holstein predominating in most sec
tons. Some fine herds of pure bred
cattle have been established hers for
years and new ones are being added.
The Oldest pure bred herd is the J'r-
sey herd founded by John T. Game
at Logan In 1885. This herd IL now
located at Richmond and nu nbers
about forty females. The oldest Hol
stein herds were established neae
Lewiston and Richmond by the Ponds
Hendricks. Nelson Bros. and J. Alma
Carson. Most Of these men are still
in the business and other herds have
been added. At present. C. L. Funk
at Richmond has the largest pure
bred Holstein herd in the valley.
Herds OF Holsteins have been estab-
lished by A. F. Carbon at his SUNNY
side farm at Logan. Mr.. shcnk at
College Ward, A. Olsen at North Lo-
gan and others. The Israelsens AZ
Hyrum have an excellent Jersey herd
on their Gem Jersey farm. The As
ricultural College has -maintaircd
good herds Of Holstein and jersey
cattle and these have had great il
fluence on the cattle of the valley.
"Much interest is being shown in
good sires and bulls have recently
been purchased at high prices to head
the pure bred herds. These bulls
are backed by high producing an.
cestry. They came from Minnesota
Ohio. Delaware. and Vermont. With
such good foundation to build vi
on Cache valley should go ahead rap
idly in the raising OF pure bred dairy
cattle OF great producing ability.
Besides the pure breds there are
large numbers OF good grade cattle
