Dear George: Herewith a letter from Billy Byars. He may have talked to you about this same subject. Personally I have no objection at all to all these cattle being put in the name of the "Eisenhower Farms" and of course what Billy has to say about artificial breeding is not only true but this has many advantages, as you know.1
However, it would have to be understood that in this event there could be no sale conducted under the name of the "Eisenhower Farms" until I was in a position to participate.2 This would likely not be earlier than January, 1961.
While I think that none of us will have a sufficient number of heifers to want to conduct a sale before that time, if you two should want to get rid of some of your stock before I would feel in a position to go along, it would obviously be necessary to transfer the animals you wanted to sell back to the name of the Allen-Byars partnership in order to dispose of them.
Except for this one remote possibility I have no objection and you can so notify Art Nevins. I will leave it up to you to talk to Billy--and then the two of you can go ahead in any way you please. As ever
