Sixty-Five Area Firms Support 4-H
Steer Sale; Champion Brings $844
It takes buyers to make a
sale, and for the third con
secutive year business firms
in the area have supplied the
community effort necessary to
the success of the annual 4-H
steer sale.
Sixty-five firms in the area,
most of them in Lancaster
County, supported this worthy
cause this year by purchas

through the Lancaster Live
stock Exchange at the Lan-

$3O IS per hundredweight for
about 53 3 tons of beet on

cattle apparently depressed

year’s average was 32.5 cents
per pound, compared to 30.18
cents this year. Both aver

of the champion.
The businessmen who make
