Feeder Auction Is Gaining Popularity 4,000 Animals Will Be Sold The fame of the feeder auction, a new and colorful part of Indiana's cattle industry, has spread rapidly, with the result that five such Hopsier sales, offering a record total of 4,000 calves and year-; lings, are planned for early fall. W. T. Anderson, Purdue University extensionist in animal husbandry. says it all started two years ago when a group of farmers in south central Indiana recognized the need for making native calves more attractive to cattle feeders. J. A. Wook,, county agent in Martin County, agreed to manage and help get a feeder calf auction started. V - As a result the White River Valley Feeder Auction Association was formed and the first sale was held near Springville in 1951. Since then three other non-profit selling cooperatives in three cattle areas of the state have been organized. fin the south Central section, the Springville Feeder Auction has planned two sales at Springville, Sept. 24. and Oct. 8, with a listing of more than 2.0'p0 calves, six times the number sold there two years ago. More than 1,150 feeders have been consigned to the Liriton sale, 'Oct. 1, under guidance of the White River organization. 1 It On the opposite side of the state the southeastern Indiana Feeder Auction Association is i sponsoring a Sale at Greensburg- Sept. 22. Directors here are hoping for 500 calves, to insure their auction's initial success. Cattlemen up north have organized the east, central Indiana Feeder Auction Association, and scheduled their first sale at Montpelier. Sept. 26. At last report. 250 calves have been consigned.

Feeder calf sales are lauded by Anderson, who says that Purdue extension! specialists in animal husbandry and county agricultural agents both are interested in auctions as a means of bringing about .improvement in the state’s beef ■cattle industry. He believes the sales are a service to both the battle feeder and breeder, providing buyers with an excellent op-
