Utah Hereford Cattle Are Moving To Points Of Sale Utah Hereford breeders from ai: parts of the state have been preparing pre-paring to move cattle to the three great livestock auctions as scheduled schedul-ed throughout the state during the month. The first of these sales was at Ferron, Wednesday, December 10. The second will be at Spanish Fork on December 12. This Is the third consecutive year for the sale to b held at Spanish Fork on that date. The third of the sales will be at Vernal, on December 18. Vernal has also been the location of two sales In past years. 175 head of cattle will be sold In the three days. Judging of the show will take place at 10:00 a. m. the day of the sale and the sale will begin prompt ly at 1 :00 p. m. each day. Investigation of the livestock being be-ing offered by some of the authorities author-ities has shown that the quality of the offering Is very high. The results of splendid breeding stock that has been brought Into the state In the past few years, In the form of many choice sires and outstanding foundation foun-dation matrons, Is beginning to materialize, ma-terialize, said Rulon P. Petenson, President of the Association. He calls attention to the fact that for the past two years, Utah bred cattle cat-tle have shown their superiority throughout all the western states, having won more top places in the Hereford Classes In major western shows than breeders from any other state. He cites as an example the recent Ogden Livestock Show where! bulls shown by the Snow Hereford Ranch at Ferron, won the championship cham-pionship In a pen of three and broke an all time record in the auction sale having sold In a group for $2000 per head; and the Grand Champion Steer, shown by Dee Wlnterton of Wlnterton Bros., of Hamas, Utah. The Utah Hereford Association will also conduct sales In Cedar City, February 19. 1948 and Richfield Rich-field on February 21. 1948.
