His highly commendable record shows that he exhibited his sheep in the show circuit in county and state fairs in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Neva-da, and California. More than $1000 in prize money came to him as a result of such showings. This, plus more than $700 received from the sale of animals made it possible pos-sible for him to go to college.
