Dl2-L*ncaster Farming Saturday, June 20,1987 Purebred Angus Added To Alfred ALFRED, NY - Alfred State College recently added seven purebred Angus to the institution’s beef program. The new arrivals are four cows, two heifer calves, and a bull calf, all obtained from Wayne Heyden of Morrisville. More are expected to be added, according to Lee Laßochelle, assistant professor of animal science, and Tim Pajda, livestock herdsman. “By integrating Angus into the livestock program, we provide students a chance to gain practical experience with purebred registered cattle and to become familiar with management techniques unique to them,” said I Before the Angus arrived, the College’s commercial beef herd consisted of a three-breed rotational cross of Angus, Charolais, and Simmental cattle. Plans are being made to show the purebred Angus at various fairs during the summer of ’BB. ATTENTION FARMERS Call deck’s for quick removal of dead & disabled animals.

To illustrate beef industry support of the new dimension, Warren Bippert of Alden has donated enough high quality semen from such Angus bulls as New Yorker, Foolish Pride, Firecracker, Sayre Patriot, and New York New York to breed the four Angus cows this spring. Hands-on training which students receive includes complete responsibility for grooming cattle in preparation for sales and shows, Laßochelle said, adding that students are also assigned cattle which they must train and groom for the annual Showmanship Day Alfred State’s new purebred Angus are shown by John M.
