California Condor: Eben McMillan 9 August 1964 in December - 6 died in January and 15 in February - Consider that the 3720 Cows on San Emigdio Calve heaviest in Nov. Dec. Jan. and Feb.; and the Tejon Ranch Cows Commence Calving in Sept. Oct. Nov. and are mostly finished Calving by the end of January, it is easy to see the ample supply of food that would be available for Condor in this South end of the San Joaquin Valley during most of the Winter months, and this all within easy range of Condor that might be roosting in the Sespe Wildlife Area. Consider this source of food from only Two of the large Ranches within the range of Condor and you come up with an impressive situation regarding Condor food. Walter Slaytor Told me he is going to breeding Cattle entirely on San Emigdio Ranch Within the Next three years. He plans on working up to 6000 brood cows, 5500 Calves will offer a tremendous supply of food for Condor just in Placental Scales alone.
