Crossbreeding
Field Day Set
“We hope to introduce bneden
in western Pennsylvania to the
benefits of using this wonderful
breed in their commercial opera
tions,” said Linda Moose, presi
dent of the NESGA. “Our Field
Day held in Gettysburg last year
was very successful and we are
hoping for a repeat in this new
area."
The Santa Gertrudis is the first
beef breed developed in the West
ern Hemisphere. Experimental
crosf-breeding of Brahman and
Shorthorn cattle was begun about
1910 at the King Ranch in Texas.
Texans needed air animal that
could maintain itself in the sparse
forage areas of their range lands,
could bear young and otherwise
maintain themselves without as
sistance, and could put on weight
fast.
The ultimate result was a versa
tile and hardy breed that could
adapt itself to any situation. The
United States Department of Agri
culture recognized the Santa Ger
trudis as a distinct beef breed in
1940. Today the breed thrives in
44 states and in 18 other countries.
Santa Gertrudis bulls are exten
sively used in cross-breeding with
cows of many different breeds
throughout the world. Santa mo
thers produce large quantities of
milk enabling the low birthweight
calves to grow fast. Their parental
instincts are strong and their dis
ease resistance is high. They pass
ori their resistance to pinkeye. The
dispositions of both bulls and
cows make them exceptionally
easy to handle.
Santa Gertrudis Breeders Inter
national was organized in 19S1 to
continue the improvement of the
breed, work for standardization of
the breed, establish a practical re
gistry, and to inform, market, mer
chandise and promote the breed.
Membership in Santa Gertrudis
Breeders International is open to
anyone interested in Santa Ger
trudis and in the purposes of the
association. The NESGA mem
bership does the same in West
Virginia, Virginia, and all states to
the north and east.
The district six cattle sale spon
sored by SGBI which includes
Pennsylvania will be held this
year on Sept 23 in Sydney. Ohio.
