The Rural Voice, 1982-12, Page 171 at the Walton Sales Arena. "It's an excellent place to show cattle off," says Mrs. Jackson." "The fall sale is our way of promoting the breed." The sale isn't a case of in one door, up on the block, and out another door. Exhibitors and members of the staff at the sales arena do quite an elaborate job of fussing up the beasts, and getting them ready for the auction. It seems almost labour of love. Anyone interested in the breed can become a member of the club, not just residents of the two counties. The president is Lorne Faust of South- ampton. Besides the fall sale, the club has its annual meeting every April and a picnic and demonstration every July. The executive meets every month or six weeks. Anyone interes- ted in joining the club can contact Mrs. Jackson of R.R. I, Durham (NOG IRO). MI's well that ends well. It was a full house for the 5th annual Grey -Bruce Simmental Sale at the Walton Sales Arena near Durham in October. The sale average was up slightly from last year, at $1.337. Sale Day. Auctioneer Don Walton, also manager of the sales arena, keeps the bidding moving. Don't wave your program unless you rf. aiming to buy. THE RURAL VOICE/DECEMBER 1982 PG. 17
