State to Accept 6000 Milk Cows for Relief Program
The federal emergency relief administration in West Virginia planned to take about 8000 of the 12000 dairy cows and all 6000 yearling steers from the Northwest surplus relief corporation for distribution to eligible farmers. Cows go to farms with shelter, pasture, and fodder land, with plans to pasture steers until November before slaughter for meat locally. About 4000 steers were distributed earlier in January and February to aid food programs.
