Rowans Bull Association Turns County Fame Into National Market
In 1918 North Carolina field agents and farmers organized a Rowan county bull association in Salisbury to buy and use high quality purebred Guernsey bulls. From 15 to 209 purebreds in 20 months, over 75000 dollars worth imported, 210 members owning 810 cows, and a reform in breeding driven by local leaders and state and federal support. The article notes improved stock inquiries nationwide and the trust built by selling through the association rather than individual breeders.
