Angus association sponsoring new event
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - The
Liberty Bell Angus Sire
Evaluation Contest, the first
event of its kind sponsored
by a breed association, will
proclaim the results of one of
the most complete and
practical steer show com
petitions on August 19-20-21
reports Lloyd D. Miller,
executive secretary of the
American Angus
Association, St. Joseph,
Missouri. The event will be a
featured part of the lowa
Wm. Penn’s work appraised
William Penn could be
considered one of history’s
greatest real estate
developers, according to an
article which appeared in a
special bicentennial issue of
The Appraisal Journal,
published by the American
Institute of Real Estate
Appraisers.
When Penn inherited a
near-worthless 16,000 pound
note signed by King Charles
11, he negotiated an
agreement with the king to
exchange the note for the
states of Pennsylvania and
Delaware in the New World
at a price equivalent to $1 for
each 564 acres. Then, before
ever stepping foot on the
territory, Penn sold 2 per
cent of his holdings,
pocketing some $40,000. And,
according to the article, “All

The article, “Penn’s

by Robert W. Hall, MAI,
traces development of
Pennsylvania and, more
particularly, of
Philadelphia.
A firm believer in ad--
vertising, Penn promoted
the province of Pennsylvania
both in the British Isles and
on the Continent through a
document, “Some Account of
the Province of Penn
sylvania,” which begins:
“Since (by the good
providence of God) a country

part of AHIR and a total of
254 calves are now on feed at
the Beukema All-Angus
Feedlot east of Newton,
lowa, off Interstate 80. The
groups of 10 to 12 calves by
each registered Angus sire,
plus a representative
number of Reference Sire
calves, were all bom bet
ween February and May of
1975. The calves were
identified at birth by the
herd owner and later tat
tooed with a special Liberty
notice of it to the world, that
those of our own, or other
nations, that are inclined to
transport themselves or
families beyond the seas,

they shall happen to like the
place, conditions, and
constitutions, (so far as the
present infancy of things will
allow us any prospect), they
may, if they please, fix with
me in the province hereafter
described..
By May, 1682, Penn had
sold about 565,500 acres in
plots varying in size from 250
to 10,000 acres. And, in that
same year, 23 boatloads of
immigrants arrived in the
new territory.

In November of 1975 the
calves were received at the
Beukema Test Station where
they were placed on a
wintering ration. After five
months wintering they will
then be placed on 140-day
feed test March 26 in time to
complete the finishing period
by the third week of August.
After the gaining period,
one-half of the steers-will be
slaughtered and the
remaining calves will be
kept for exhibition during a
