If someone donated a largo
sum of money to you tomorrow
and the only stipulation was to
use it tor the purchase of a
new truck, could you decide
within a few minutes trow up,
what color, what engine, what
accessories and what make?
Well, maybe you could and
maybe you would be in a stale
of confusion. This is often the
feeling that many people have
when trying to decide on a
breed of beef cattle. Do you
have Angu* or Hereford 'cause
that's what your father raised
or maybe you have Angus or
Hereford 'cause you like their
color. Regardless of what you
have or what you plan to have,
the breed should have been
selected only after careful
study. Too often this is not the
case. Careful study is impor-
tant not because of vast dif-
ferences but because it's very
important that you like your
breed and also because it takes
a long time to change breeds.
Let's pause for a moment
and give credit to three of our
older and more popular breeds
—Angus. Hereford and Short-
horn, Tli y didn't become pop-
ular and abundant in number
because of their color — they
earned their standing and
place in agriculture. Next, let's
read card ally the following
Import aid statement: there are
more diUerenees within a breed
between individuals, than
there are differences between
different breeds. To say this
another way — you must select
and cull for performance. This
performance may be calving
case, weaning weight or length
of tail — but you must select
those individuals that perform
as you like.
Now let's talk about a group
of breeds that arc receiving a
lot of attention these days —
the ‘ exotics." Exotic — that
means outside, foreign, strange-
ly beautiful, and enticing.
These words describe well these
new breeds. Will the exotics
really change American beef
production? Who Knows’ I
do know that they have caused
many purebred breeders to
wake up and take action to de-
fend their own breeds. Several
years ago when I was a stu-
dent down towards College Sta-
tion. I asked all of my teach-
ers why you couldn’t cross
Holstcins with beef cows. "You
can, but you just don't." I lint
was the answer I received in
most cases. The exotics oiler
many qualities when used for
crossbreeding and not .surpris-
ingly. many are similar to those
offered by the Holstein. Exotics
otter about 3-4 outstanding
traits. They are: size, scale,
milk production and a genetic
pool ol genes which will be ob-
served by above average hybrid
vigor. Recognizing these trails,
we can take inventory of what
we have in tli se cattle - a
breed to be developed to a
purebred and then the off-
spring sold as a herd bull to
use in a crossbreeding program.
AH of the exotics arc cither
dual purpose or tri-purpose.
The dual purpose breeds are
those developed for meal and
milk and the tri-purpose arc
those developed for meat, milk,
and draft animals. Most of the
exotics are coming from Euro-
pean countries to Canada. The
semen from bulls is then ship-
ped into the United States.
What are some of the options
available on deluxe models?
How about a cow with a ma-
ture weight of 1,500 pounds —
try Blonde D'Aquitaine; the
largest breed in the world
try Chianlna; a breed from
Austria —■ try Gelbvieh; want
a high growth rate — try
Limousin; a Frencli breed with
a good carcass — try Maine-
Anjou; a breed that still uses
the cow bell — try Simmentals
from Switzerland. These are
only a tew of the nTany breeds
now available to the American
cattleman.
And, ixmember the Chatolals
was an "exotic" about ten
short years ago!

Mother’s Day Call
Neck and Neck
With Christmas
Every Mother’s Day South-
western Bel! scratches its head
and wonders about that so-
called generation gap.
This year the telephone
company says Mother will
generate an average of 25 Long
distance telephone calls a sec-
ond nationwide. Some 24,600
calls to Mother arc expected to
be placed in the Warn area
Sunday, says George Hutson.
Southwestern Bell district
manager. This includes Itas-
ca, Hill-sbro. Meridian, McGre-
gor, Moody. Oglerby, Eddy,
West, Wortham, Mexia, Teague,
Mart Marlin and Reagan.
"Mother's Day is neck-and-
neck with Christmas in the
lace for the nation's biggest
calling day of the year," says
Hutson. Last year Christmas
won with 9.1 miilmn calls, a
lead of only 56,000. This year
the Bell System is bracing for
19.7 million long distance calls
on Mother’s Day.
Rates are cheaper if you dial
direct, the district manager
said. Direct Jiaird calls by-pass
the operator.
You’ll get the best service if
you call before 11 a m. Sun-
day or in the afternoon. To
really avoid thf calling rush,
the district manager said, you
could cal! Saturday and get
the same low weekend rates.
“There really aren't any non-
busy times to call on Mother's
Day anymore.” the district
jjyinager added.
Southwestern Bell will have
83 operators on holiday duly to
serve callers requiring assist-
ance in the Waco area.
