This year over 70 young people will be showing and selling their 4-H beef calves, up from the fifty-nine participants in 1986. Last year Dean Ribey sold his Grand Champion Calf to Tri-Coun- ty Livestock for $1.33/lb. The 1987 sale will be held October 12th with the show at 10:30 a.m. and the sale at 1:00 p.m. sharp. Brussels Stockyards Limited is again pro­ viding the facilities for the sale. The success of the sale is due to the tremendous support the com­ munity gives to it. Everyone wins - the buyers soon have top quality beef in their freezers, and the 4-H members have a few extra dollars in their pockets, and some enthusi­ asm for next year. Sale catalogues are available at either the Bruce or Huron County OMAF offices. John Van Vliet, RR 1, Walton - John has displayed leadership as an active Junior Farmer and 4-H Leader.
