Ford Ranch 'Pet Pasture Deer
Are for Looking, Not Shooting
Wild deer—ao tame they al-
most eat out of your hand—
make a startling tight for
visitors to G. K. White's
Ford Ranch. 16 miles south-
west of Brady.
Late every afternoon they
drift up to the ranch house
looking for a handout of
range cubes, and Mrs. John
Bratton, wife of the ranch
foreman, keeps a supply on
hand just for the deer.
The deer are the ranch’s
pets. Although hunting is per-
mitted on the ranch, the deer
in the “pet pasture” are off
limits.
"They come up to the house
every afternoon, beginning
along in October and stay
around until spring,” Mrs.
Bratton say-*. "They quit
coming when the grass gets
up and they have plenty to
eat out in the pasture.”
• • •
The pets apparently stay
in their own pasture from
year to year, seldom roam-
ing far from home. They have
become so familiar to Mrs.
Bratton that she can recog-
nise one from another. She
estimates the hard has about
•0 to 26 animals, offspring
from a pet doe the Prat-
tons brought from Mason
County for their daughter,
Shirley <Mra. Guy Siler),
when ahe was just a tot.
The deer should feel right
at home, for the Ford ranch
headquarters swarms with
animals, sheep, ducks, geese,
bird dogs, plain deg*, cats.

of course.
Many hunters are often
frustrated In the fall when
they run across doe after doe
but seldom get a shot at u
buck. In the pet pasture, how-
ever, it 1* the hocks who
show themselves and come up
to the house.
"Once in a while the does
and fawna will come up but
not often," says Mrs. Brat-
ton.
Mrs. Bratton is. no hunter.
"John bought ms a rifle one
time and 1 killed a deer. But I
felt so sorry’’-^him I just
couldn't do it again, and John
sold my rifle."

A move to sell the property
and dissolve the Brady Co-opera-
tive Poultry Association failed
Wednesday afternoon when only
105 members showed up for a
special stockholders meeting.
The co-op hae 770 membera, and
a favorable vote of 80 percent
(616 members) is required to dis-
pose of the property.
Raymond Pouchillon, co-op man-
ager, said the co-op is not in fi-
nancial difficulty.
“We're still making money,”
ke said. "We had $2,500 last
year in revenue over expenses.
That'* not much, but the co-op
i* a non-profit organisation."
He explained the move to di*
solve the co-op haa come from
members scattered in San Saba
and I.iano Countie*, member* who
now live too far away to make
use of the co-op.
“The director* and the people
here want to keep it,” he said.
It was organixed originally hack)
in 19.74 to handle shipment* of
turkev hatching eggs for produc-
er* throughout a wide area. The
egg market broke in 1945 when
northern producers began raising
their own egg*. ■
Until three months ago the co-
op also operated a feed store and
since 1942 has operated a meat
processing and locker plant. The
meat processing and locker plant
now i* the co-op’s only business
enterprise—too far away for mem|
hers except those in the immediate
Brady vicinity.
• * *
To test the aentiment of those
present Wednesday, the directors
called a vote on the question.
Seventy voted to sell, and 75 were
opposed to selling.
‘•We’ll just have to wait and see
whether another meeting is call-
ed,” Pouchillon said.
lie added that none of the
stockholders has ever pnid
any cash money for the stock.
Money to erect the co-op’s
brick building in Rrady was
borrowed from a Houston
hank in 1$$H, and that debt
was paid off about 12 years
ago through profits of the co-
op.
The stock was issued to the
members on the basis of the
amount of business they conduct-
ed with the co-op. No stock, how-
ever, has been issued since 1950
Pouchillon said many of the
stockholders have died, moved
away, and their addresses have
been lost. He doubted in fact that
all of the stockholders and their
heirs could be traced, even if the
co-op's property Is sold and th#
proceeds distributed to the stock-
holders.
In sending out notices of
Wednesday’s meeting, 137 not-
tices were returned to the co-
op unclaimed and unopened.
“I never heard of a co-op being
sold," he said frankly. “They juat
go broke and quit operating."
K. W. Huffman of Brady ia
president of the co-op; L. C. 8an-
aom of Rochelle, secretary; I* S.
Walker of Lohn, D. H. MUbura
of Brady and W. L. Brysoa of
Brady, directors.
Bouchillon said about 1£ or 15
membera who want to sell out
met with the board last Dec. 15,
and it tree decided then to call
Wednesday’s stockholders meeting.
At one time the co-op was prob-
ably the largest shipper of turkey
eggs in the country, and the co-op
had accumulated profits of $18r
000 when the egg market broke in
1045. That money was lost, the
co-op went into debt, and many

Community Chest
Campaign Misses
Goal by $1,910
The McCulloch County Com-
munity Chest ended its 1960-61
campaign 11,910 short of its goal,
a report Tuesday to the director*
shows.
The report was made by Char-
les Snmuelson as the directors
met at the Chamber of Commerce
office.

the pledges totaled $12,286.56.
Expenses for the drive were
1672.71.
The Chest, however, will have
enough money to meet its pro-
mises to the participating agen-
cies, and the directors voted to
pay the agencies Mthe amount
stipulated to each in the budget."
A rising vote of thanks was
given to Kamond Wilensky, chair-
man of the 1960-61 drive, and to
all workers who shured in the
campaign.

directors meeting. Other director*
present were C. A. Reynolds, Sam-
