Second Of Three Articles On Horses
This second of a Frederick County Percheron Association series explores the horse situation on farms. The meeting highlighted that Maryland ships 5,000 to 6,000 work horses annually while Pennsylvania imports 50,000 to 60,000 and Virginia spends over 5,000,000 on horses and mules. Eight thousand work horses are in Frederick County, and owners of grade mares may have their best chance to upgrade to purebreds. A good work gelding can pay for a fine registered filly, and work value remains despite market prices. The group notes labor shifts could again demand horses, and a trend toward trading grade mares for purebreds may emerge in Frederick County.
