ANIMALS IN SALE
I
Great interest was shown Tues-
day in a gathering of members ofj
tlif Shackelford County Hereford j
lireeders Association as plan* were
made for the HMO sale. A large
group of breeders from nearby
counties, as well as a representa-
tive group from Shackelford coun-
ty, gathered at !> :00 a. 111. for a
tour 10 inspect some outstanding
herds. The tour started from the
barn of J. II. Sedwick, where the
four calves of John Horace Sed-
wick, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
II. Sedwick, eleven years old, were
inspected, and seevral of the Sed-
wick cows were looked over. Pic-
tures were taken and members reg-
istered.
From the Sedwick barn the
group drove to the VY. .1, Dodson
home piaee just south of town,
where his calves of various ages
j and cows and bulls were inspected,
i Mr. Dodson has an ideal ranch
home and barns, where he bleeds
some of the best Hereford- to be
found in this section.
From the Dodson ranch, the
caravan drove to the Nine Mile
Hill to see four of the heifers Mr.
VV. I'. Newell had purchased from
F. W. Alexander. These were in I
excellent condition and very attrac-
tive animals. The breeders then
drove back to the Newell Ranch
where more cattle were in-
Members of the Shackelford
County Hereford lireeders Associa-
tion were pleased Tuesday when
they found an eleven year old hoy
well along in the cow business -
and registered Herefords, too.
First stop on program for the
breeders' tour Tuesday was the
barn of J. II. Sedwick. There his
son, John Horace Sedwick, Jr., is
taking care of four tine yearling
Herefords, gotten from the herds
of his father and grandfather, John
F. Sedwick, pioneer cattle breeder
of Albany. John takes care of the
yearlings under the guidance of
his father. The barn is well kept,
with the name and registration of
each animal painted on a -ign in
the stall.
John was somewhat worried
about his young bull, as the animal
was ailing and running a tempera-
ture at the time the breeders \i
ited the barn.
The Hereford breeders are bet
ting on eleven-year-old John H.,
Jr., as he has a good start for a
herd, with some of the finest blood
that can be bought He likes cows,
which is natural, and works at tie-
job.

Lee Sanders Offers |
Loving Cup For
Hereford Sale
At the meeting of members of
the Shackelford County Hereford
lireeders Association Tuesday, an-
nouncement was made that Lee
Sanders, Albany drug store owner
and rancher, had offered the asso
riation a loving cup to go to the
"Get-of-Sire" winner in the sale at
Albany next February.
This will be the first time the get
of sire show will have been held in
connection with the Albany show.
Rules were laid down Tuesday, in
which four animals must be group-
ed, containing both sexes. There
may be one of one sex and three of
the other. One of the animals dis-
played in the show must be offer-
ed in the auction sale.
The loving cup will be called
the "Lee Sanders Cup." The win-
ner's name will be engraved on the
cup, with the date. The next year
the loving cup will go to the get-of
sire winner, and in turn his name
will be engraved. In this way the
cup will be perpetual and will stim-
ulate interest in the show. The
breeders were enthusiastic about
the get of-sire division, and ex-
pres.-ed thank- to Mr. Sanders for
his interest.
Judging in this contest will be
held the morning of the sale.
