The Huron Expositor, 1982-07-21, Page 7Bodmin sale, barbecue held BY RON WASSINK An unusual auction, the fourth annual Bodmin Shorthorn cattle sale sold 79 head of shorthorns on Tuesday, July 13, . Bodmin Limited of RR5, Brussels is owned by three brothers, George, Charles and Ross Procter. Back in the 1850s, their great-grandfather and his brother were two of the early settlers in Morris toWnship. Sonie of their land is still owned by the Procter family. Ross Procter said the name Bodmin was derived from the village of Bodmin which was once located near the river on the fifth concession of Morris. The town site is part of the property now farmed by Bodmin Limited, Mr. Procter said their cow -calf Operation markets approximately..250 cattle per year. He said all the calves raised are not all from their own herd. Prior to thc evening sale, a steak barbecue was held with 280 steaks served. In charge of cooking duties were Chris, Ken and Don Procter and Doug Richards. Bodmin is knownfor their quality beef and Mr. Procter said some guests attend only to enjoy the meal. A regular feature enjoyed by visitors was the sight of cattle being worked with quarter horses. Sam Pletch transported 40 to 50 visitors to a nearby farm with a team and wagon where a herd of cattle was moved from one pasture to another using horSes. The crowd then points out individual cattle, requeSting the horsemen to cut each animal separately, to be moved from the herd. Mr. Procter said five were cut and moved. He said "the event is quite popular." In lot one of the sale, the buyer wA making his purchase, site unseen. The high bidder wouldkhave the choice of the entire cow herd and if a 1982 calf was afoot, it would be included. All possible information VERNA RILEY , Mrs. V.erna May Riley, 74, of RR2. Brussels.

Lot one was gold to Ted Sherbeck of Bent Spear Stock Farms of Ansaly, Nebraska. Purchase price was $4,100. Mr. Sherbeck purchased an additional three head at the sale. Mr. Procter said buyers came from near and far. One heifer was sold to a buyer from Indianna. A farmer from Unity, Saskatche- wan purchased six head. Others attended from northern Ontario and Nova Scotia. Although attendance for the sale was estimated at 350, Mr. Procter said prices were off 535 to 540 per head. Two reasons are that haying season wasn't completed, causing many propsective bidders not to attend and the failing economy. "Money is tight and people were reluctant to buy", said Mr. Procter. "Overall we are pleased with selling prices and the genuine interest shown by serious cattle buyer's", he explained. Approximately 12 full and part-time employees of Bodmin assisted to make the • sale run as smoothly as possible. Auction- eering duties were shared by George Early of Kerwood and Brian Rintoul of'Winghara. Throughout the sale, Mr. Procter offered visitors the choice to board a newly purchased animal for 51 per day and said he would supply a horse so the animal could be visited once per month. The offer was aimed at urban residents who may have wished to own a cattle beast. Although such a purchase was not made, Mr. Procter said two buyers purchased open heifers and wanted them, bred. "Bodmin will stand by their offer,in this case", said Mr. Procter. He said plans are being made for the fifth annual sale and the second Tuesday of July 1983 is being considered for the sale date.

So. beware of the tiny monsters or you may be scratching in agony before long. The increase in mosquito population will vary, throughout the province depending on where there has been heavy rainfall which gives them prime breeding sites and hot weather that results in rapid hatching and development of these pesky insects, A Canadian researcher reported, after studies on the diet of Toronto and Montreal children from infancy to age four, that children eat too much salt. She said "at all ages average salt intakes were above recommended levels." **am** Regular routine and quiet have vanished from this house for a" couple of weeks.
