Shawnee County Beef Tour Scheduled
Beef cattle in Shawnee County have a value of approximately four million dollars. Anyone would agree that this is a sizable industry. We would like to present representative samples of the operation of this industry on Thursday, March 22. This is the date that has been set for the beef cattle tour that should prove beneficial to anyone interested in beef cattle production.
The tour will begin at 9:00 a.m. at the Joe Campbell farm about three miles west of Rossville on highway 24 and then one-half mile south. Here the group will see a sizable number of cattle that Joe is wintering, in addition to a good set of working corrals. From here the group will go to the Clyde Rogers farm and meet there at about 9:45. This farm is located about one mile south of Rossville. Clyde has heifers on full feed and also heifer calves that were purchased last fall that he is wintering.
The third stop will be at the A.J. Thomas and Sons farm located on the west edge of Silver Lake. This stop will be at approximately 10:30 and here the group may see the herd of stock cows and the creep feeding system that the Thomas’ practice. At about 11:20 a stop will be made at the farm of Eugene Smith at 6215 West 21st Street, Topeka. This is about ¾ of a mile west of the junction of 21st Street and Wanamaker Road. Gene Smith and Joe White have a sizable cow herd, both registered and commercial. After this stop, the last stop will be at Roy Engler’s located just one mile south of the Smith farm. After this the group will gather at the Oak Grange Hall which is located by the Roy Engler farm. A free lunch will be served at noon to all those who participate.
Wendell Moyer, Extension Livestock Specialist from Kansas State University, will be on the tour to assist with the discussion. A summary will be held after the noon lunch and an early adjournment will follow. Come out all you beef men and bring your neighbor.

“JACK AND THE CORN STALKS”… almost looks that way with the little trick photography by the Shawnee County Agent, Herb Bulk. Agent Bulk took the picture to show how tall the corn is in the Kaw Valley. It’s nearly as tall as the picture appears, too.
