A ’preliminary summary of Virginia Feeder Calf Sales show that Culpeper put it on Rappahannock last fall in the quality of calves offered. This is the first time any Virginia sale has ' beat -Rappahannock -in' quality in the history of our sale. Our sale contained 61 % Fancy and Choice grades while that of Culpeper had 64% Fancy and Choice, Rappahannock fell back due to a greater than usual number of young calves which obviously suffered more from the drought *than did the larger calves. The average weight of Rappahannock sale was 4M pounds, thirty odd pounds lighter than usufil while the Culpeper average was 466. I believe Culpeper did not accept calves weighing under 350 while Rappahannock has always held to’ the 300 lb. minimum weight. State aver* ages of (28 sales) were as follows: 443 lbs, $80.63" per head, $18.21 per hundred, 44% choice and fancy. We still- feel Rappahannock’s sale did well in every respect but can’t let Culpeper mar, our quality record again. ,
