One stud, Tarport Adios,
will be standing in
WrightsviUe, while the other
f uixmont studs will be kept
on the farm in New Jersey.
The reason for the New
Jersey stud farm, said Kohr,
is because the Pennsylvania
stakes are “very poor.” At
$2,100,000, the Keystone
State’s Sire Stakes fall well
below those of New York, at
$7,200,000, New Jersey, at
$7,000,000, and Ohio, at
$5,000,000.

“Until we make govern

what’s happening m the

them there and then
bringing them back to

“It’s inefficient, but it’s a
temporary solution to a
major problem,” he said.

Pennsylvania is the state
sales tax on horses, Kohr
noted. He pointed out that,
unlike other livestock
purchased m the state, horse
buyers must pay sales tax on
any animals they buy m
Pennsylvania.
As a result, Kohr said, he
sold his first yearlings this
past summer m Lexington,
Kentucky.
EventuaUy, the Wnght
svdle farm will be strictly
for horses, said Kohr. At the
present time, some of the
pastures hold purebred
Chiamna cattle and a few
Herefords.
The Herefords, which
were Kohr’s first livestock
enterprise, wdl be going to
his ranch in Montanna where
he says the bull market is
better. He also pointed out
that it costs less to maintain
his cow/calf herd out West.
“In Montanna, I can feed
and maintain the herd of 800
head on the 6400 acre ranch
for $l2O a head per year.
When the cattle were here, it
cost me $2BO a year for each
cow in feed costs alone.
When your costs are higher
than your sales, you won’t be
in business long.”
Kohr not only made a
name for himself in the
Hereford business, but he is
also a top name in Quanma
cattle too.

business in 1973 primarily
