Purchase, Sale, Distribution
In most counties, farm bureaus,
farm councils, or livestock associa-
lions are considered the logical bodies
to handle the purchase, sale and dis
tribution of animals. In other
counties the organization of such
bodies is encouraged. Purchasers are
cautioned to deal only with breeders
known to be reliable and are warn
ed against spectators and others
who may attempt to dispose of dis
eased or inferior stock. Thorough
investigation before purchasing is
advised. Purchases made. through
local farm bureaus or livestock or
ganizations or with the assistance of
county agents are likely to be salts
factory. While some widely adver-
tised families of breeding stock are
very highly priced, many breeders
of desirable purebred sires, it is be-
lieved, are able to furnish good ami
mails at reasonable cost.
Records of Dominant Breeds in
Counties
Experience has shown the desir-
ability for communities and counties
to concentrate their efforts on only
a few breeds and types of the diff
ferent kinds of livestock. When this
is done farmers can aid one another
in building up their stock with much
better results than when each person
raises a different breed.
As a service to persons interested
in examining or selecting livestock,
the United States Department of
Agriculture will keep a record of the
dominant breeds and varieties of the
different kinds of livestock in each
county when such information is OBJ
tanned from dependable sources.
Pending developments in this field, a
breed or variety will be considered
dominant if 100 or more good pure
bred sires of that breed or variety
are owned and used for breeding in
'the county.
