Livestock Director Urges Herd Expansion

Ayrshire

By DON MacLEOD

Island Ayrshire breeders were urged yesterday a trnoon y provincial livestock director Lou Roper to start a campaign to create more interest in Ayr- shire production in the province.

He was speaking at nual meeting of the P.E.I. Ayn- shire Breeders Club, held at Birch Court.

Pointing out that there were only 11 Ayrshire breeders yesterday's meeting. Mr. per said “there must be a great number of Ayrshire breeders in this province. Why aren't they here? There are just 11 here. There should be 111 here.

“In comparison, the Holstein breeders are going fast and fur- ious in the province —— they're flourishing and going ahead."

Mr. Roper was critical of a picture in a national Ayrshire journal which showed an Ayr- shire receiving an award for

000 milk production. “That's just an ad for Hol- steins," he said, “Who come up with 11,000 or 12,000 pounds pro- duction."

Mr. Roper said more emphas- is should he placed on commer- cial breeding. “Without it," he said, “we cannot expect to flou-

rish. We have to rely on it to get production up."

He also suggested that the Ayrshire breeders should call meetings in various centres of the province to encourage grea- ter production. He said encour- agement should be given to the formation of more Ayrshire call clubs among young people.

A motion was passed support- ing Mr. Roper's suggestion that the breeders organize meetings throughout the province to see where the interest in Ayrshire production lies.

Prince Edward Island's Dairy Princess, Mrs. Sterling Mac- Rae, presented awards for high milk production to a number of delegates to the meeting. A. MacRae and Sons, East Royal- ty, received a certificate from the Ayrshire Breeders Associa- tion of Canada for having a cow that produced more than 100,

A number of matters were left for discussion at the next meet- ing of the Ayrshire cluh direct- ors, including site of the Ayr- shire breeders 1964 field day and the possibilities of setting up an Ayrshire futurities sys- tem for livestock shows in the Atlantic area.

New president of the Ayrshire breeders club is Windsor Bell, South Melville. who succeeds Wendell Moase, Kensington.

Provincial director of veter- inary medical services, Dr. H.

He said, however, “this doesn't mean that you should scrap your own bull. For a portion of your herd you should take advantage of the artificial insemination unit as no matter how attractive a bull may be. unfavorable char- acteristics in offspring may de- velop later on."

Dominion Experimental Farm superintendent Robert Parent told delegates that early next year the president and manager of the Atlantic Winter Fair will be in Charlottetown to meet with livestock producers.
