Regional Farm Reports Progress For First Year
The Uintah Basin Welfare project in Roosevelt marks its first year with a large building program completed on December 1 1950 and 42 Holstein cows added to the dairy herd. The farm plans to raise bull calves to yearlings while keeping heifer calves in the dairy, forecasting a 400 pound butterfat yield per cow by late November. Dairy milk sold to Hi Land Dairy Roosevelt yields 2500 pounds of butter weekly for Welfare Square in Salt Lake City, with a total 10000 pounds of butter expected to be produced for the four stakes by year end. Tribal officials say payments will be announced once authorization from Washington is received.
