30  HEAD  OF   BEEF  CATTLE
SENT  TO  HEART  MOUNTAIN
   The first     carload   of
beef  cattle to  be   shipped
from the project was   sent
to the Heart Mountain re-
location center late yester-
in compliance    with
Washington  orders,   accord-
Ing to  Donald E. Harbison,
Assistant project director
this week.
   Approximately  30   head
of cattle   comprised    the
initial shipmeni which is
scheduled to reach its des-
tination Monday.
   Harbison stated the or-
Iginal intention was to
raise beef cattle for Heart
Mountain as well as for
this project. But last
season’s light rainfall here
limited silage cattle,
forcing the  original  plans
be  dropped.
   Amache' s loss of 30
head of cattle will not
necessarily constitute a
shortage as cash derived
from the shipment will he
used to replenish our pre-
sent   stock.
   At present there are
approximately 750 head of
cattle grazing in the pro-
ject pastures and confined
in the feeding lot. This
number is calculated to be
sufficient for  the center's
needs providing the slaugh-
tering quota   is met,     con-
cluded  Harbison.
