THE CATTLE INDUSTIY FOR THE YEAR 1088 This year has been one which] was considered to be very irreluiu!‘ in the cawle industry from a Pro- duction standpoint. it. will be re- membered that there was Elem variation in quantities of fodder in the early part of the year. Prince county had reached the lowest ebb in many year-s. In many die- tricts. the breeders did not have the required amount of hay. straw or izraln. The root crop also was considered a failure in West Prince. is also applied to many dia- trlcts in Klnfls County. While Queen's Count and southern Prince were f ate tn havinfl l» surplus over- their requirements. Owilna to the hiifh cost. of - Doria/lion. it was found difficult to halve sufficient fodder t ported to various Points; this W85 a handicap to production of both dairy and beef products in the first five monitlis. However, the breeders and feeders we're very fortunate in havinit early pastur- gags‘ and ‘while thedcigattrtilem Kent ti; u: n many c conditleon. they made sa/tisfacgggy rains. Abundance of after - wring numvfhs of hi. sec the majority of younz stock belna left on pasture during the month of N ‘ . reacted favourably in this regard. It was noticeable. however. in lte of the wondorful pastures t many were brought into win- ter quanters in poor condition. The Reneral opinion was that. the mass was very sappy and that the breeders neglected feeding mixed grain or meal ration in order to .,_ . took ers were very fortunate in so far as a balanced crop is concerned. They have reaped a larizc crop of hay and one of the lamest crops of izrain of recent years. They are also very fortunate in having the heaviest crop of turnips that has been zrown for many years. and as the demand for export has been small. this should be a izreat fac- tor in the lcrweiim; of the cost of production. when there is an abundance of home grown feeds on hand. We look forward to the Spring of i939 with the lwfie of seeing the herds coming cut in 200d audition. Trade in Liveetock This year was considered only a fair year for export trade. The de- mandwasas gocdasthe past years. but in many cases the qual- ity of animahi offered was not up to standard. Amoriiz the pure brads. the demand was not as marked as in the previous year. but prices have advanced amroxlmotely 20ft It is regrettable that the quantity of pure bred stock offered was limited. Such a. condition makes it difficult to izroup car lots with- Oliii eDchd-lnx a lt5 amount of time and expense in assembling. Quite a number of ycuhiz breed-inc sires were export- ed to different parts of the Marl- times. llt. is very pleasing to note that mauv districts are making much irreeter prczress this year in their feedinvz methods. and adopting a more systematic practice of herd improvement. Districts in which pure bred bulls are maintained and where Junior Calif and study Clubs are orfiamud. are zraditally attaining a more desirable stand- ard of mixed fanning practices. Ovlinil t0 the trend of the markets with considerable variation in dairy and beef products from time to time. we have reached the stage where our- stock mirst be produced in a greater quality volume. Breeders and feeders of dairy and beef cattle should endeavour to izrow as much of their feed as l5 illlmflflly possible. in order to lessen production should eliminating unprofitable and animals of undesirable type in accordance with the breed they represent. There is a tendency to keep a greater number of animals relentless of quality._ for the amount of feed which is available to maintain the herd durln the winter months. - It is relatively more advisable end a better practice to raise to maturity and properly finish the quality of live stock now being produced. than make an endeav- our to increase production of in- ferior and poorly finished cstile. Beef prices have been consider- ably lower durina 1938 than dur- ill i937. but ima manly beef animals were shipped this year. The feeders in many in- stances were not in a. position to cam their cattle over for an- other season.
