Georgia Adds Hereford Herds to Prison Farm Cattle Drive
The Department of Agriculture brings in 100 short horns and Herefords to Georgia to improve beef cattle. Two more carloads arrived and sold at fair prices. A 19 month Hereford bull costing 6200 was bought for the prison farm. Judge Warner seeks a herd of Hereford heifers to breed pure stock for Georgian farmers. Herefords are raised for beef, not milk, with docile bulls and distinctive white heads. The livestock department plans to supply meat for convicts and sell cattle and hogs to farmers at low prices.
