cattle show plan could boost Georgia beef industry
A letter from B Frank Mebane of Spray NC urges Captain James W English of Atlanta to back a Hereford cattle and sale show in Atlanta, with McCray of the Hereford Cattle Association, to promote breeding and sales. Georgia’s railroads and bankers would aid, aiming to keep beef production local and reduce cotton reliance. The plan, supported by the Central of Georgia railway, would involve distributing registered bulls and cows along the line, coordinated by the Atlanta and state chambers.
