and a turnover of 2.5 per year, could handle all of the feeder calves produced in Virginia.
In 20-25 years, the South West will be phased out and the great shift will be the S. E., Sunjand of U. S. A. By this time most beef will be frozen, preformed, precooked arid mixed with soybean. It will have to be uniform, tender and cheap. Only the affluent will eat the real product.
The steer of the future will be big, long bodied, long headed and largely produced on forage.
The cow man of the future will have 500 head of uniform cross breds and use an out cross bull. He will sell and buy his whole herd at one time.
Where does this leave the Virginia cow calf producers? Mr. Scruggs sees it as an opportunity for Virginia, with reputation seed stock and small herds, to become the cow producing capital for the Southland.
What it would take according to Scruggs, would be 20,000 uniform 2 yr. old genetically superior cross bred heifers. Bred heifers of guaranteed genetic power. We would be flooded by buyers from the S. E. and instead of $100 - $150 for a calf, we would be selling heifers for $300 - $500.
See you at the Feeder Calf Sale Banquet this Friday Night.
