Carlot Bull Sale
Averages 1891

THE 9TH ANNUAL car1ot bull sale,
held at the Billings Public Stockyards,
considered one of the largest private
treaty bull sales in the Northwest, took
place at Billings Dec. 1-3.
Trade was slow the first two days,
with the buyers carefully looking over
the bulls offered from Montana and
Wyoming. The weather end of the en-
vironment was very good for this early
December event.
Jerry Prescott, Belgrade, sold the
top bull, MWB Intense Larry, for 81 800
to John Yates & Son, Fishtail. George
Hohensee, Bozeman, sold a Royal 5th
2-year-old to John Hardenbrod, STAN
ford, for s., $50 for the second top sell
ing bull of the event.
The sale proved, statistically, to be
much better than last years. The top
so bulls last year averaged 1916 against
a $475 average return this year. The
top 100 hit 1899 average last year COM
pared with $500 this fall. The overall
average year ago was $3.50 compared
with the 1891 this fall.

Montanan to Head
US. Wool Growers

WALLACE ULMER, Miles City, was
elected president of the National Wool
Growers Assn. at the annual conven-
ton held last week in Salt Lake City.
The group endorsed plan to create
the American Sheep Producers Coun-
Gil, Inc. It's purpose would be to pro-
mote and increase the consumption of
lamb and wool. Under the Wool Law
passed by Congress last fall, growers
are guaranteed an average of 81 cents
pound for the wool they produce in
1855. Incentive payments are deter
mined by the difference between the
market price and the 62-cent level.
Duties collected on imported wool will
provide the funds for these incentive
payments.
The proposed campaign for the pro-
motion of lamb and wool would be fl
nanced by 1-cent-a-pound tax which
would be taken from the incentive pay
ments. A nationwide referendum would
be required to gain approval of the
plan. 1t was suggested that two-thirds
vote of the sheepmen be required for
adoption Of the measure.

Dec. 81 Is Deadline
For ACP Projects

FARMERS AND RANCHERS who
have been given Dec. 81 as the COM
pletion date for their conservation pro-
gram were cautioned by Leo S. Kol-
stad, State Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation administrative Of
fierc, that the work must be completed
by that date. Conservation work done
after that date will be ineligible for
Federal cost-sharing unless special ap-
proval has been obtained, he said.
Forms for obtaining this special ap-
proval may be obtained at any county
ASC office Kolstad explained that eX-
tension of the completion date on con-
servation programs will allow operators
extra time to carry out their cOnserva-
ton plans into early 1855. Farmers who
have completion date before Dec. 81
may also obtain an extension by apply
ing at their county ASC office. How
ever, such extensions are granted only
up to the end of 1854.
Operators may still request cost-shar-
ing under the 1854 Agricultural Con-
servation Program. Kolstad stated that
county ASC committees will give ap-
proval to such requests as rapidly as
conservation funds are available in
their budgets.

Sheep Profits
CanBe Increased
By JOHN G.. BUTCHER
Carter County

WITH THE HIGH cost of farm
and ranch operation it. becomes in
creasingly important to get the most
efficient production from livestock
and crops. Sheep operations offer
many opportunities for increased re-.
turns from good management. The
most important results of good man.
agement as reflected in dollars and
cents are increased wool yields, bet
ter quality of wool, higher per-
centage of lambs weaned and wean-
ing weights and lamb quality that
meet the market demand.
Culling for wool may best be
done at or shortly before shearing.
The amount of wool each sheep pro-
duces is naturally the first consid-
Grafton. Almost anyone who works
with sheep can select the very poor
wool producing sheep from the high
er wool producers, especially when
they are in full fleece. Most often
though, it is not the lack of ability
for selecting low or high wool pro-
ducers, but rather taking time to
do it.
After low wool producers have
been selected out of a band they
should be marked so they may be
recognized at any time the market
is right for their sale. An ear-notch-
ling method might be used-one ear
notched to indicate Landing or
other defects, the other to indicate
wool defects.
Uniformity of Fleece
The uniformity of the fleece
should be examined. All sheep with
black spots in their fleece should be
culled as any black wool is severely
Disseminated against by the WOO
trade. Few, if any, sheep are com
pletely uniform in wool grade owe
their body, but some are extremel,
variable, even to having hair-lik
''chaps" behind. Such variabilit,
may easily reduce the value of tn
whole fleece.
Those wool growers that have
rather uniform grade for their Who'll
band would do well to investigat
the advantages of selling wool ths
will go original bag" that is, S
uniform that it need not be graded
Such wool brings a premium be
cause of the saving in grading.
a grower has band that may a
most be that uniform it may pay hin

to replace those sheep that have the
extreme in wool grades.
The tendency for wool blindness
may be observed before shearing.
1t is proven fact that open face
sheep will out-produce sheep that
have a tendency for wool blindness
in the same breed. Many growers
who prefer Rambouillet type sheep
object to this as discriminatory, but
Rambouillets are not always going
to be wool blind. Open face Ram
bouillet rams are now available, and
the change from wool blind to open
face Rambouillet type commercial
sheep may well be made in the next
few years. Selection of the more
open faced sheep of the growers
preferred type is the way to such a
change.
Eve Selection
Landing time offers opportunities
for eve selection that are often over
looked. Ewes that refuse or give
difficulty in claiming their lamb or
lambs may be marked, as well as
poor milk producers and dry ewes.
1t has been practice among many
sheepmen to cut the tips off both
ears of eve that would or could
not raise a lamb. This is a good
practice as it indicates a eve that
should be sold for slaughter only.
Other marks, such as the notches
discussed before, may be used for
less serious faults.
Marking twin lambs so they may
be recognized as twins at wean-
ing will be of great help in selecting
eve lambs to be kept as replace
ments. If this is done the size of the
twins won't necessarily be penalized
because of their handicap as COM
pared to singles. Ewes born as
twins also have a slightly greater
1t is common practice to calculate
Landing percentage at docking and
at weaving, compare the difference
and consider ways the losses could
be reduced, but how often are the
losses from birth to docking con-
sidered? Losses of lambs a few
hours to few days old are so COM
mon and the 1ambing crew is so
busy that it doesn't keep track of
them. A record of such losses may
well be surprising and valuable to
any sheep raiser. Preventative
measures for such losses may be
more profitable than commonly
thought.
Every sheep man should remem.
Der that it is not the number Of
sheep he can run but rather the
profit that is important. 1t is very
possible to produce more lamb anc
wool with 900 sheep than with 1000
This would show a saving in invest
ment, in labor, and big saving il
range that could go long way to
ward increasing the lamb weights
