Show Sanpete Baby Beef For Coast Exhibits The champions of two state fairs, those of Utah and California, will be matched against each other at the 5th annual Junior Livestock and Baby Beef show to be held at the Union Stock yards, South San Francisco, November 14, 15 and 16. Sanpete county will be represented at the show with several head of Aberdeen Angus, having been selected from the splendid herds owned by O. C. Doke. In previous years animals from the Doke herds have been exhibited, and in several instances walked off with first prizes. At the close of the exhibition, exhi-bition, the Sanpete stock was sold and brought to the boy exhibitors as high as 25 cents per pound. One sale was reported at 35 cents per pound. This show, the only one of its kind in the west and purely educational in character, is restricted to members of the Future Farmers of America and 4-H Boys' and Girls' clubs. According to E. W. Stephens, manag-er of the show, who has just completed a tour of California, Nevada and Utah, there has never been a time' when so much interest has been manifested in this juvenile exhibition of blooded baby beef, lambs and hogs. Specializing in the three breeds of beef cattle, Hereford, Shorthorn and Aberdeen Angus, the various breeds of sheep and hogs, these young livestock live-stock exhibitors will test their showmanship, show-manship, sportsmanship and ability as feeders of livestock and will try to retain laurels already won or win new honors at the Junior Livestock and Baby Beef show in November. Last year more than 60 communities communi-ties and high schools were represented represent-ed in the show and the indications are that the coming exhibition will break this record. Some 800 boys and girls last year entered more than 1000 head of livestock in competition for the $5,000 in cash awards offered by the show management. |
