Zenchiku, the former S e lk irk ranch which was purchased la s t year by a Japanese food-proc essing company, presented the program as a sample of the world-wide attention the new company is getting .' Zenchiku L and a n d Livestock president J o h n Morse told the group the ranch h a s made good progress during the year and has drawn a large num ber of visitors exam in in g the facility and its techniques. The company has been the subject of a rticles or programs on n a tional television, in J a p a n and G reat B r itain. I t has also been w ritten u p in m any m q jo r newspapers- and m a g a zines, Morse added. The ranch began its first exports to J a p a n in J u n e a n d a shipm e n thasbeen made n e arly every week. In the past few m onths, Morse said, over $1 m illion worth o f b e e f h a s been shipped, exceeding the total of a ll the b e e f exported to J a p a n by other M o n ta n a concerns. Zenchiku, which also sells beef dom estically, produces ac cording to Japanese expecta tions, w hich are m iddle choice to m id d le p rim e , Morse s a id . According to the firm ’s five- year p la n , the ranch is expected to double its exports n e x t y ear and m a rket i t under its own brand name, tentatively selected as Selkirk Brand Beef. “We expect to s h ip every week next year.\ ' “As we expand our beef, we’re hopeful we can buy some of the high quality beef in this area,” Morse said. Processing for the ranch is done in three locations', in C a li fornia a n d Kansas, w ith feeding done in C a lifornia, Idaho and Kansas. ‘There’s no o p p o rtunity to finish in th is area,* Morse said, n o ting he h a s hopes for a possibility o f a processing p la n t being reactivated in B illings. “Zenchiku r ig h t now is ju s t a ranch. We hope we’re a good neighbor.” Morse also said he expects the ranch has had a positive im p a c t on the area, w ith the firm b u y in g as much as possible locally and sending numerous people to area motels and res taurants. The program shown the a u d i ence was p a r t o f a longer one done on the p a rent company and aired in Tokyo. The program centered on the “cowboy life” o f two Japanese trainees sentfrom Japan to the Zenchiku t ranch south o fD illo n . S C O R E h a s a r e a s e r v i c e s C T T ^ O A T 1 ?

She purchased three head. \How much?” I asked remembering my rab b it days 30 years ago. “Twelve d o llars each.” “Twelve d o llars!” I ranted a n d raved, p a rtly for show. I was conscious th a t a lesson in life was to be learned. Wisdom to be passed. I explained the necessity to b a rgain, to d icker, to trade! I fe lt like a m other leopard s talking and slaying some crippled g n u in front o fher clumsy, big footed cubs! Two weeks later I was in W isner, Neb. visit- ingw ith Del a n d K a ren.T h e y wanted to buy my books a n d mentioned they were in the rabbit business. A lig h t flickered between my ears! I realized th is was the perfect o p p o rtunity for me to d is p la y a s h in in g example o f b a rtering to my daughter. Yes, they were w illin g to trade a nice doe for the books. A n d yes, they would even p u t h e r in w ith a buck th a t n ig h t.

I told h e r no, only cany-ons. “W h a t’s th a t in the box?” she asked. “R a b b it.” “Is he g o in g w ith you?” “Yup. B u t don’t worry, no special m eals are required, ha, h a ...I’U ju s t slide her under the seat.” T m sorry, sir, there is a fee for shipping pets...thirtydollars...your p la n e is leavingin 15 m inutes.” W ith a sour look I gave h e r my c redit card.
