I 1856. Lowest point will probably
come in the spring. Profits for
cattlemen should be good after
1857. Try to hold on to your
livestock for one more year il
possible.
Lamb prices should be up in
1857 due to smaller supply OF
red meat.
Wheat prices should be above
loan price due to threatening war.
Also, the wheat crop should be
the smallest in 10 years with the
soil bank in action for an entire
year.
This is just a brief summary
of things to come in farming.
Many incidents may occur that
will offset these predictions.
Pregnancy Testing
Carrying a COW through the
winter costs the rancher hard
earned cash, and if the COW fails
to have a calf in the spring the
rancher is out of pocket in two
ways: First he is out the value
of the calf which he ,had ex-
pected, and second he is out the
feed that could just as well have
gone to a cow that would pro-
duce a calf.
So it's easy to see why ranch
erS r. showing more interest in
pregnancy diagnosis. Many ranch
ers are using it as a regular
tool in helping to beat the cost
price squeeze. Although preg-
nancy testing is not 100 percent
accurate and the best veterin-
arian may miss a few, the per-
centage of rights" is high and
the margin of error is not large
enough to make such tests eco
nomical.
Whether a pregnancy test of
your cow herd would be of value
to you depends on several things.
For the rancher whose herd has
a very high conception rate, say
95 percent OF better, a pregnancy
test would be of little value.
Other factors to consider are
your particular wintering costs
and how much of a job it would
be to gather the cows and
whether you have a chute avail
able.
Pregnancy diagnosis may be
accomplished so days or more af-
ter the bulls are removed so if
you are interested in having a
diagnosis made this fall, now is
the time to see a veterinarian
about it.
