Bulletin Discusses
Sheep Parasites

ALL SHEEP harbor intestinal
worms to some extent, but growers
can seldom be sure how many are
present if they go by external signs
only.
So say R. F. Honess, assistant
parasitologist Of the University of
Wyoming agricultural experiment
station and ]. F. Ryff, director Of
the Wyoming state veterinary lab
oratory, in joint publication just
issued.
Often producers will be unaware
Of the presence of parasites until
marked symptoms appear" the writ
ers report. 'sThen, likely as not, they
will begin looking for deworming
agent without. considering that it
may be specific for a certain type
of worm that may not even be
present"
The authors discuss symptoms and
diagnosis of parasites along with
treatment and methods Of control.
In the mountain regions, they state,
one kind of parasite alone frequently
predominates instead of the over
tapping infestation usually encoun-
tered in regions other than the west.
Circular AZ, internal Parasites of
Sheep" by j. F. Ryff and R. F.
Honess, is available on request adj
dressed to the Agricultural Expert
ment Station, Laramie, Wyo.

Grazing Fees Up

GRAZING ON state-owned grass
lands will cost ranchers Of Montana
40 cents per animal unit per month
effective Oct. 1, according to the
state land board after applying the
new 1851 legislative formula for de-
termining fees. This new rate is APP
proximately IS percent higher than
last year. The new fee will apply on
about 100000 acres of state land
under grazing lease to ranchers, ac-
cording to w. P. Pilgeram, land COM
missioner.
This new rate was established ac-
cording to the 1851 session law and
lis based on the average fee schedule
Of 18 cents per animal unit for the
base period from 1888 to 1947, as

British Cow Sets
World Record

THE BRITISH Friesian COW Man
ningford Faith Jan Graceful set up
a world record for milk production
in lifetime when she brought her
total to 267,S15 pounds.
Graceful is owned by Elmwood
Farms Ltd, of Mill farm, Black
Bourton, Oxfordshire. She was bred
by George M. Odlum in 1888 and
sold to Rex and Harold Jenkinson
(now Elrnwood farms) in 1910.
Faith Jan Graceful has brought
to Britain a record previously held
by the American Holstein Ionia
Ormsby Queen, that had yielded
267,3O4 pounds when she died at 18
years in 1888. The British COW,
having beaten her in only 10 years,
the record is likely to go some way
higher yet.

Select Replacement
Heifers as Calves
By N. n. JACOBSEN
Extension Livestock Specialist

CHOOSING A COW according to
her calf rather than her looks and
then selecting replacement heifers
from good producing cows is per-
haps the quickest way to build a
high producing beef herd.
Experiments at the New Mexico
station show that a cows future pro-
duction can be forecast by the kind
of calf she first produces as a
heifer.
Records kept for 10 years at the
New Mexico station showed that g.
year-old heifers producing light first
calves later produced below average
calves. Heifers starting as heavy
producers continued to have calves
heavier than average. AS an ex-
ample-one group of heifers which
produced calves averaging 321
pounds at weaving continued to pro-
duce calves for the next four years
which averaged only 404 pounds.
Another group of heifers which
started with first calves averaging
AL pounds later produced the next
four calves averaging 456 pounds.
While weaving weight is impor-
tant, grade or quality is equally inn
portant. The New Mexico studies
have also shown a high correlation
between weight and grade in calf
production. Efforts to predict pro-
ducing ability on the basis of the
cows appearance have been disap-
pointing.
Heavy weaving weights are, OF
course, an indication of good milk
production in the cow and a char
acteristic to be desired in replace.
ment heifers. Weaving weight alone
is, however, not highly inherited
according to reports of the u. S
Range Livestock Experiment station
at Miles City. Statistically, weanin
weight has been found to be onl.
% percent Unbeatable, whereas
weight at is months of age is So per
cent Unbeatable.
This latter characteristic is in
herited equally from the COW ant
the bull. Since no animal make
beef until it is well over year old
the ability to grow and gain is hes
insured by the use of bulls of higl
known gaining index.
Selecting replacement heifer
while still on their mothers has bee
practiced by Milton Simpson of Vol
borg and Lyman Brewster of Brine.
for some years. Both now have COY
herds that produce calves wit
weight and quality to spare.
