Hallrice 4-H dub kids
learn with fake auction
BY SHANNON HALLAHAN
The fifth meeting of the Hallrice
4-H Dairy Calf Club was held on
July 22 at Murray Howatt’s at 8:00
p.m.
The meeting opened with the
4-H pledge and roll call was taken.
Lesson #4 called “Cattle Sales’’
was read by members in the club.
An auction ring was set up with
Richard Lobb as the auctioneer.
The club members participated in a
pretend calf auction. Using four
calves the bids went higher and
higher, although the bidders had
no money to pay for the calves.
Everyone learned more about
buying and selling calves.
The meeting was adjourned and
lunch was served. The next
meeting will be held on August 19
at John Bos’s at 8 p.m.
Prices in effect until August 8, 1987
