Show Correction Entered In Matter of Champion Lambs Sale Our report in last week's Issue of the Iron County Record about the sale of the grand champion lamb at the Southern Utah Livestock Live-stock Show was in error Inasfar as it Indicated that it was a record rec-ord price for the show. The price paid for the animal was a record rec-ord for any show held thus far during 1957, but was not a record for the Southern Utah Livestock Show, which has consistently dominated all shows in the state, the West and even the entire country In prices paid for cham-1 pionship stock. Higher prices have been paid in the Southern Utah Livestock Show on two previous occasions, once by Wilson N. Lunt and once by H. J. Delaney, both of Cedar City. However, the price paid for the champion lamb this year far surpasses any price paid this year insofar as we have been able to determine. In 1945 Mr. Lunt paid $9.00 a pound for the champion lamb, which weighed 107 pounds and brought $963 to its exhibitor. This is perhaps the highest price paid anwhere for a champion lamb. Later Mr. Delaney paid $10 a pound for a champion lamb at the local show, which la the highest price paid per pound ever paid at the Cedar City show, or any other In the West We apologize to Mr. Lunt and Mr. Delaney for Indicating that the 1957 price surpassed what they had paid previously. |
