Fraser West says his prize-winning cattle are breeds and the growing consumer demand healthier and smarter than more common for lean beef has made them valuable too Longhorns Pact on sharing Klamath River salmon er than 35000 salmon escaping to spawn two if the Indian catch falls below 12000 fish In each case allotments would be modified to reach the minimum of 35000 spawners and the minimum 12000 fish for Indians Indians involved in the negotiations live on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation and represent other downstream tribal fishermen The agreement provides that annual commercial sport and Indian groups will develop their separate agreements to meet their respective percentages each year The 12-member Klamath Basin Fisheries Task Force met Thursday for its first meeting also The task force is charged under a new federal law with improving Klamath River fisheries over the next 20 years The effort will cost $42 million half from the federal government and half from non-federal money and By Ken Payton Bee Staff Writer EUREKA Indians sport and commercial fishermen have negotiated for the first time a long-term agreement on sharing the annual catch of Klamath River salmon Signed Wednesday at the first meeting of the new federal Klamath Fishery Management Council the agreement specifies percentages each year that each group may catch through the 1991 fishing season The commercial ocean harvest was set at 32 5 percent of fall run Chinook while Indian and sport fishermen in the river will share 525 percent The balance of the fall run will be allowed to swim upstream to spawn The catch percentages can be modified each year under two one if the harvest rates result in few Continued from page B1 especially Texas longhorns stand apart on the range the ones with horns will be the cattle farthest from the water hole looking for the good feed not afraid to move Of course intelligence and physical agility can be drawbacks in cattle leading to tales of wild cows that can jump a bush with the agility of a deer and outrun all but the fastest cow ponies But said West what allowed these cattle to survive on the open range with no one looking after them Some of the steers in those old Texas cattle drives were 7 8 years old and more gone wild The people doing the drives just went out in the wild and caught The longhorns were the descendants of cattle brought to North America by the first Spanish explorers The cattle that formed the basis of economy before the Gold Rush were of the same breed although the hungry miners of 1849 brought a quick end to the California longhorn bloodline Needs of the meatpacking industry just about finished off the Texas longhorns as well West said Other breeds such as Hereford and Angus were bigger and yielded more high-quality fat-laced meat than the lanky longhorns But a few ranchers out of nostalgia and affection for the crafty breed kept small herds more or less as pets and registered longhorns are descendants of those few remnants And now the longhorn is coming back into its own Consumers are seeking lean beef and ranchers like the small size of the calves especially calves fathered by longhorn bulls from cows of the big beef breeds The tales of the agility and willful nature are well-founded West said my cattle are used to being handled and they behave as well as If they were allowed to go wild I imagine be a real handful West walked out across a pasture to show off his herd One young bull pranced about waving his horns high and watching the humans intently apparently considering some mischief a little high-headed as we like to West observed lot of longhorns are like that and I mind cut the horns off a cow you cut away half the brains No welcome mat for campers Nevada County

some of the county's homeowner associations have their way Leaders of the homeowner groups said Thursday that a plan by county supervisors to set development standards for new campgrounds could bring noisy tourists to their wooded hideaways The comments came during a public hearing of the county Planning Commission about an $18000 inch-thick draft environmental report concerning potential impacts of additional campgrounds County supervisors asked for the report in October after property-owner groups appealed the Planning Commission's approval of a 162-umt campground near North San Juan The
