Egg production feasibility study of the Four Corners area: final report - August 1971
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 1971) Quarles, Carey L., author; Enos, Howard L., author; Department of Avian Science, Colorado State University, publisher
The Southern Ute Indians located in the Four Corners area of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah have been investigating various profitable enterprises that would enable them to raise their standard of living and provide needed employment. Since there are only a few small egg producers in the Four Corners area and these units are below efficient economic size, eggs are generally imported from California. For the above reasons, at the request of the Southern Ute Indian Council through Mr. Leon Hopkins and the Four Corners Regional Commission, a study was conducted in 1970-71 by the Department of Avian Science of Colorado State University to determine the feasibility of establishing an egg production unit by the Southern Ute Indians. This research report is the result of this study.
