! FIRST9 AIR SHIPMENT OF
SEMEN GOES TO HOMER
The first shipment of bull semen to
go direct by air from Palmer was
made to Hr. John E, ’.'aterman of
Homer, -Alaska, who chartered the
. plane to come direct to Palmer and
get the semen and return to Homer,
, it was announced this week by the
] Alaska Exoeiiment Station at Palmer.
The artificial breeding program be
tween the tanuska Vclley Breederfef
association, the Alaska Experiment
Station and the Bureau of Dairy In
dustry, /ashington D.C, is conducted
on a cooperative Basis. This pro
gram, was started in 1948 following
a visit here by Dr. Reed Prom the
Bureau of Dairy Industry. The farm
ers pay, through the breeding fees,
for all the feed for the bulls,one
half the inseminators salary and
his transportation, together with
equipment expenses. The Experiment
station provides the care and place
to kepp the bulls. The Bureau of
D-iry Industry will provde the bulls
from theirxherd at Beltsville,Mary
land. The Breeders’ Association will
pay transportation for bulls to
.Alaska.
These bulls have as much or more
production behind them than any
bulls that could be purchased at any
p.rice any place in the States. Ic is
thought that it will soon be possible
to ship semen any place in the Terri
tory according to the Alaska Exoeri
- ment Station, that is, where planes
can go. The ^laska airlines have
agreed to refrigerate the semen in
anchorage over night so that it may
go out on their planes the next morn
ing to various places in the Terri
tory.
