Wednesday, August 20, 1969 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. The Nevada County Nugget 9 Complete Supply OF .
