- 品評会・共進会
新生農村の推進に沿って、農業経営形態も徐々に 変化し、役牛を中心に飼われていた家畜は、乳牛を はじめ豚・羊にわとり等が大々的に飼育されるよう になりました。一層の振興を図るため農産物・畜産の 品評会や共進会が行われています。
乳牛の飼育
牛といえば、これまでは田畑の耕作、大八車の牽引と労働を助ける黒牛(牛)でしたが、昭和25年 (1950) 乳牛が飼育されるようになり、新しく現金収 入の道が模索されました。
乳牛の管理に必要な獣医の駐在も得ることがで き、それにより専門的な指導を受けながら酪農組合 も結成され、島の産業として大きく成長しました。 最盛期には、10数頭の乳牛が飼育されていたと云 われています。
なお、獣医は、田中泉氏で須ノ上に居を構え、長くさぎしまのためにご尽力いただきました。

- fairs and exhibitions
In line with the promotion of new farming villages, agricultural management patterns have gradually changed, and livestock, which used to be kept mainly as service cattle, are now being raised on a large scale, including dairy cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens. To further promote the farming industry, agricultural product and livestock breeding fairs and competitions are held.
Breeding of Dairy Cows
Cattle used to be black bulls (oxen) that plowed the fields, towed big wagons, and helped with labor, but in 1950, dairy cows were raised and a new way to earn cash income was sought.
A veterinarian was stationed on the island to manage the dairy cows, and a dairy cooperative was formed with professional guidance, and the industry grew to become a major industry on the island. At its peak, the dairy had more than a dozen cows.
The veterinarian was Mr. Izumi Tanaka, who settled in Sunokami and worked for Sagishima for many years.

It seems that the agricultural products fair and livestock breeding show held at that time was jointly organized by Saginoura Village and the Mukoda Agricultural Cooperative Association. The village as a whole worked together with the agricultural cooperative to promote agricultural products and livestock breeding.
The flag in the photo is the winner's flag sent by the Mukoda Agricultural Cooperative Association to the winner of the fair.
