Dairy future
in good hands
Last November, 4-H Club mem
bers from eight provinces proved
that the future of Canadian dairy
farming is in capable hands as they
competedfor prizes in the Hays
Classic at the Royal Agricultural
Winter Fair in Toronto.
Among the 248 competitors
showing dairy calves in the
two-day event were six club
members from Huron County:
Arthur Bos, RR 3, Blyth; Audrey
Bos, RR 3, Auburn; Mary-Anne
Franken, RR 2, Auburn; Jim
Fenton, RR 1, Belgrave; Elizabeth
Stewart, RR 1, Dublin and Craig
McNeil, RR 6, Goderich.
When Scotiabank became a
major sponsor in 1985, the Classic
was moved to the Royal Winter
Fair and expanded into the premier
junior show in Canada. It follows
regional showings in the competi
tors’ home areas.
Doug Livinston, of Woodbridge
won the top prize for showmanship
and Brad Sayles of Paris won the
Grand Champion Confirmation
Award. Both have competed in the
Classic since its inception in 1980
under the sponsorship of the
newspaper Dairy Contact, of Cal
gary, and Hays Farm Internation
al, of Oakville.
