Pleasant was the winner of "Creamcicle" a stuffed polar bear, during the Vintage Rose open house recently. SALT LAKE CIT- Y- The Utah Farm Bureau Federation (UFBF) is urging the Utah Legislature to authorize ranchers to raise domestic elk as an alternative agriculture enterprise. UFBF President Ken Ashby said, "The livestock industry in Utah could benefit from an additional alternative, enterprise especially in this time of extremely low cattle prices. Some farmers and ranchers in Utah would like to begin raising elk for an expanding market for the velvet from elk antlers which is widely used in the Orient, and we believe they should have that opportunity." Delegates to the recent Utah Farm Bureau Annual meeting are supportive of the legislative proposal to give the Utah Department of Agriculture authority to regulate such activities, but cautioned that any bill should contain strong safeguards to ensure disease control, genetic purity of wild populations, proper animal identification, containment, and humane handling, to protect domestic livestock and the wild populations of elk. "This is not just another opportunity for the livestock industry to benefit from wildlife, but represents an opportunity for the public to see and enjoy these magnificent animals in an environment that is friendly to all," Ashby said.
