Beef cattle judge will
tell about symposium
During the judging of the
Hereford beef cattle on Thursday evening Aug. 21 at 7 the
judge, Ed -Rousek of Fresno
State College, and who was also
on several important committees for the first annual National Livestock Symposium t.is
past spring at Fresno, will summarize the symposium for all
those interested in livestock.
The Nevada County District
Fair is proud of its Hereford
show this year and wiil be glad
to welcome back Billy Normile,
a former resident, who is general manager of the T. H. Richards Ranches in Yuba county and
at Taylorsville in the mountains
of Plumas county.
Choice Herefords from the
William Miller ranch.at Lincoln, and from Don Rosa's
Hereford ranch near Sacramento and Jeannette Briggs Herefords, also near Sacramento will
show with the T. H. Richards
herd making it areal worthwhile
show.
Secretary-Manager Malcolm
“E. Hammill. has heard from
Rousek and he wiil bring charts
and slides with him to illustrate
what the livestock symposium's
findings were in the beef cattle
section. Nine steers were used
and were judged by five of the
best judges in the nation and
placed, This judging took place
the day before the 1500 stockmen arrived. Then during the
first day's session those same
steers were judged on computer
cards by the audience of 1500
then run through the computer
and results were posted and
compared with the placings of
tue judges.
Also an electronic device was
used on the animals to determine the size of rib eye etc.
and its placings were also posted
for comparision. On the second
day those same nine steers
were exhibited all salughtered
with one half hung intact and
the other all cut and wrapped.
Then the interesting points of
all the judging of the steers
alive by the judges, the audience
and the electronic machine came
in for some surprising results
when compared with the carcasses and cut and wrapped
meat of those same nine steers.
This will be a highly educational summary illustrated by
the charts and slides and everyone interested in the beef cattle
business should plan to be present at the livestock judging
arena. Rousek's judging is always interesting, his reasons
for placing are clearly explained and he is one of the finest
speakers on beef cattle in the
nation today.
Facilities at Rollins
‘just breaking even’
A -report on recrational facilities at Rollins Lake was
made by concessionnaire Leonard Luglan to the Nevada Irrigation District Board of Directors at their regular meeting
Wednesday.
Luglan téld the d "even
with most of the dvailable facilities in use we are barely
paying wages.'' He went on to
tell the board he was selling
his stock in the corporation
which leases the concession
rights from.NID.
Improvement of roads and
more available camp sites were
listed as two ways to improve
the financial situation at Rollins.
You Bet Road, which is used
to enter Rollins from Placer
county, and the entrance to the
park "are in bad shape” Luglan
said.
After Al Scurr told the directors that it was the intent
to use recreation money to pave
roads the directors asked if
Placer county would pay for
part of the You Bet Road, Luglan
said he had been working with
Placer county on this problem
and had no answer as yet.
The directors made no decision and will await a reply
from Placer county.
Luglan advised the board that
the Division of Highways was
going to post overnight camping
and boating signs on Interstate
80, which would be a boost to
Rollins,
A new insurance policy ‘for
Rollins was adopted by the
board. The new policy calls for
$50 deductible leaving minor
repairs such as vandalism to
doors for the concessionaire
to repair,
The present agreement calls
for NID to insure all permanent
structures which the district
owns, +
Manager Frank Clendenen
said "when the facilities become
self supporting the concessionaire should assume allinsurance
responsibility. At present NID
should bear some of the costs."
In other business the directors discussed the possibility
of selling gravel rights on the
Greenhorn and Bear Rivers.
Several companies have expressed interest in these rocks,
Scurr told the directors. It was
generally agreed to pick up the
highest rate for the gravels,
One of the gravel beds on the
Greenhorn has a depth of 90 feet
and would be a long project.
—Project Engineer Jim Brady
informed the directors that the
pipe was being delivered to Cascade Shores "we would like to
call for bids on installation of
the pipe in two weeks,"' Brady
said.
"The land clearing is progressing smoothly and the outlook is good for this project
to go on schedule," he added.
