visit
sales
barn
By Sara Baker
On June 2, the Brussels Belgrave
Beef 4-H club met at Brussels
Livestock and were given a tour of
the Sales barn by Kevin McArter.
Members learned many things.
The cattle are sorted when they
come to the barn, put into pens,
weighed and sold in the ring.
Vaccinated calves have a better
chance of living and they usually
bring more money per pound, he
said.
