There are•'60-70 different
breeds of beef cattle in Canada;
which is too Many compared to
-the hog and chicken industries,
which have as few as five, • .
"If we _mix. it all. up, how. can
• we make- things -consistent?;" he
asked„ .referring to• the .wide -
number of lbreeds.
During hishour presentation,:
Noble showed a series of slides
of his.Alberta farm, and inter:
'spersed in the collection were
various photographs '.of his. fatn-
ily. He said he;wouldn't have
won the Alberta Beef Cattle
Performance Award in 1939 if it
wasn't for his family::
"That's what it's_ all .about,
really,". he said; referring to
family and environment:. "We
push ourselves dailyand rush,:

we're here for just'a short time."
Noble said fun and excite-

shouldn't be forgotten,
