Show UTAH TO PURCHASE TEN MILLION GOATS Utah has received an additional addition-al allotment for the purchase of goats that has been allocated to the counties as follows: Wash-ingon, Wash-ingon, 5,000; Kane, 2,500; Carbon, Car-bon, 700; Iron, 500; Garfield, 300; San Juan, 300; Grand, 150; and Duchesne, 150. There are still 400 head to be allotted to the lesser goat countries of the state, states William Peterson, Peter-son, state director. The purchases which have already al-ready begun are confined to females fe-males one year old and over. The price to be paid is $1.40 per head. The goats must be pelted and the pelts cured and delivered to the county FSRC agent. Those goats fit for food will be processed in local plant:;, with no out-of-state shipments. , "It is hoped that this purchase pur-chase will eliminate the old female fe-male goats and that this number will relieve the goat situation in the state," Director Peterson said. |
