County Moves for Bull Pool To Help Breeding
A plan in Mason County to create a purebred Hereford bull pool aims to improve beef cattle quality on marginal farms. The idea, led by the Mason County Chamber of Commerce agriculture committee, would purchase three bulls for loan to farmers for about two years at a standard fee. If adopted, three vocational agriculture teachers would help select renters, with a March 8 follow up meeting to finalize details.
