LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
The headlines in the News of October 12, reporting on our 1955 Angus Calf Sale, read 62 per cent Fancy and Choice at sale. Calves do not just naturally „ grow that good so some one must wonder — how did this happen? ,
This is my answer to How Did This Happen?
First — Rappahannock Angus Breeders have learned over the years through efforts of the County Agents that good cows and the best purebred, bulls produce fancy and choice calves. Second—The Rappahannock Angus Breeders Association Weeding and Sale Committees have had tremendous influence on the quality of calves produced for the sale and the quality of buyers who attend the sale.
I was not a consignor when the sale was organized but have sold through the sale for the past ten years. It seems to me I have heard that Lewis Turner had something to do in organizing the sale then Bill Lyne came along and continued to improve the work begun. I have also heard that Rhodes Brown and Jim Yates have been on the Weeding and Sales Committee from the beginning — so when you call names the Angus Breeders here are much indebted to the men named above. They have put money in your pocket each year—I say Thank You.
Sincerely,
A Menrfoer of Rappahannock
Angus Breeders Association.
