If so, cattle involved would have to be blood tested before entering another state," said Dr. Howe. "Although the brucellosis con trol program ls voluntary, it be hooves every producer Of feeder cattle to take part in the pro gram if he expects to sell feeder cattle," Howe said. In view of requests made by Nebraska ranchers and farmers the brucellosis program has been altered to permit easiur qualification of counties as modified certified brucellosis areas. The changes place in creased recognition and status for official vaccination of calves kfiand a minimum of blood testing t K I on the ranch. i IT ,U. U,l I nnc (lie nie i.wij ua.iic imjuiii. merits: 1. Over the three year period during which the certifying pro cess takes place at least 80 of the replacement heifer calves in the county must be officially vaccinated. 2. All cows three years-of-age or older would be backtigged when passing through marketing channels. In breaklr these two points down, the rancher would request official vaccination at State Federal expense or could pay for .it himself if he wished. This vac cination would be done by the veterinarian of the livestock owner's choice. The back tag program (also called the Market Cattle Testing program) works this way: A tag having a number which codes the state, county, and herd of origin is glued on cows three years old or over as they pass through the livestock market. When the cow with the back tag is slaughtered a blood sample Is taken and tested at the nearest laboratory. A back-tagged cow destined for the fecdlot could be tested in the usual manner at the auc tion market and results credited to the herd. The testing would be at no cost to the owner. The result Is forwarded to the state where the cow was sold. The tests will be credited ti the herd and county of origin. If, at the end of a three-year period it can be shown that at least 15 per cent of the cows If my. HI f I? if "if si? if if if: S'f over three years of age in each herd have been tested In this manner and the infection is be low the minimum level, the county can be recommended as a Modified Certified Brucellosis area. Herds that do not have 15 per cent of the cattle treated by this method would have to quali fy by blood testing at the ranch. Two important points to re member are that: 1) Reactors found under the MCT program which are tested more than 14 days after leaving the ranch of origin will not be charged against that herd. This gives maximum allowance for the possibility of cattle con tracting Brucellosis after leav ing the herd of origin. (2l The finding of only one reactor upon test of backtagged cattle will not result in blood testing all cattle in that herd. Further tests of backtagged cat tle from this herd and discus sions wit,h the herd owner will determine the future testing program to be taken in this herd. ( In the event that it' ls estab lished, beyond a douhtlb.al Brucellosis is in this herd there are alternative courses that can be taken. If the owner wishes, he may have his entire herd blood tested. Another alterna tive is that he may In the case of a larger herd, test a pre-de-termined statistical percentage of his herd to determine if there are more cattle infected. The third way is that backtagging of cows sold from his herd would be continued and if no infection is found after the necessary per centage of the herd ls tested un der this method, the herd would be considered free of Brucellosis. With each of these methods, high level official calf vaccina tion would be required. Hunt 'Successful' 188 Deer Taken LINCOLN -Excellent hunting on the DeSoto Wildlife Refuge during the special three-day hunting season December 15 through ,17 meant 188 happy hunters, according to the Game Commission. A total of 239 hunters took 188 deer for a success score of 78.6 per cent. For the special season, 250 permits were issued. Game Commission personnel and members of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service had pre dicted the success would run about 80 per cent. December 15, opening day, was the busiest, with 141 deer taken. On Sunday, December 16, 29 deer were bagged, and 18 were taken on December 17. Of the total, 74 were adult does and 34 adult bucks. Floyd B. Cordner of Bellevue shot the heaviest hog-dressed deer which weighed 215 pounds. His animal was a B'j-year-old buck. The top live-weight deer was a"265-pourid"t)uck taken By" Darwin c. Sutherland or Blair. Technicians estimated the deer population on the Nebraska side of the refuge before the hunt at about 450. The reason for the fewer number of adult bucks taken was probably because the males "wised up" In a hurry and headed for dense cover. Co-operating in the deer re search on the special season were the Nebraska Game Com mission, Iowa State University. U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Department of Agricul tural Disease Research, and Iowa Co-operative Wildlife Re search Unit. 1 lfe$r- y WE EXTEND OUR FOND WISHES TOR A JOYOUS CHRISTMAS DAY LEO'S BARBER SHOP LEO OSTERHOLM JIM CRECC MERRY CHRISTMAS RYAN ECON-O-WASH LILLIAN & PAT MERRY & If i VS. i ' j-'T t www feu. : .
