Building and Maintaining Animal Motive Power Units at Low Cost

Horse Association of America

Abstract

Animal husbandry men need to emphasize that building animal motive power units is a construction job in the same sense as building a house or corral. We need a bill of specifications—to know precisely what materials in quantity and quality will enable us to do the best job at reasonable cost.

You men in charge of horse and mule production in agricultural colleges and experiment stations can offer a real service to horse breeding by emphasizing that any farmer in the corn and wheat belts who is south of the 42nd degree of latitude and east of the 100th meridian can raise good draft horses or mules to three years of age for less than $90.00 per head, including $15.00 service fee. The sooner we get together on this, eliminating all reference to higher costs—where needlessly expensive methods of production have been pursued—the better it will be for the horse and mule industry and for farmers who are concerned with reliable power at low cost.
