sale barn, Robert Frame, is
enthused about results so far
and is expecting as many as
1000 feeder pigs for his
second sale next Friday.
Frame and his wife, both
Chester Countians, became
part-owners and major
stockholders of the Vintage
Sales Stables this past
Spring. The idea of holding
feeder pig sales is one of
several new programs which
came about as a result of
new management. The sales

will be held the first and
third Friday of each month.
The new head of Vintage
Sales Stables claimed that
volume at the facilities,
located east of Lancaster
along Route 30, has in
creased dramatically ever
since his family took over.
He described his first feeder
pig sale as “excellent,” and
quoted prices as high as $lO5
per hundredweight. While
citing the increase in sales in
all categories. Frame
pointed with special pride to
the results of the feeder pig
sale and also the fact that a
new milestone was set just
this week in fat steer
numbers.
More than 1050 head of fat
steers were sold at the July 6
sale. Frame commented.
“We have never sold that
many (1053) in any one day
before.” In all, a total of 1850
head of cattle reportedly
went through the sales
facilities; which were
remodeled and added on to in
1971.
Permission to sell feeder
pigs here was granted after
the sales stables complied
with rules and regulations
set forth by the Agriculture
Department in Harrisburg.
That included a complete
cleaning and disinfecting of
the old sale barn. The
building had been and
continues to be used for
the grading of calves as well
as feeder pigs, although no
market hogs are allowed

Erecting this eye catcher along
Route 30 to help let people know
where to turn in to get to the Vintage
Sales Barn, was the idea of Elaine
Frame, wife of Robert Frame, above.
The couple took control of the sales
stables on March 10 of this year and
within those petitions.
Vintage sells between 1000
and 1500 head of hogs per
week, according to Frame.
The cost of renovating the
old bam for its present uses
was estimated to be $4OOO,
Frame said.
