Splendid Progress
Being Made By
Steer Club
The annual summer steer tour
held last Wednesday, was attended by about seventy-five members, parents and sponsors.
Some outstanding gains have
been made by some of the steers
since the first tour of May 25.
However all the steers look
very good and a splendid show
will be made at the annual Fair.
The steer making the best
gain was "Mike" owned by Larry Hofemeister. He showed a
gain of 330 pounds. However,
his sponsor is Dr. Gordon
Prout, who could be supplying
Mike with a few extra special
vitamin pills.
"Skeezix," owned by Nancy
Ross, gained 310 pounds and is
also one of the better animals.
"Crackerjaek," owned by
Nancy* Gleason, made a gain of
305 pounds. He shows promise
of being one of the top steers.
All the club members have
been taking good care of their
animals and havie them well
trained. Lewis (Pete) O'Mara
has even trained his to be ridden. He plans on putting on a
free act at the Fair one of the
evenings, possibly the same
night the governor is to be
present.
Fred Walters accompanied
the tour and pointed out the
good points about each steer
and also stated that the steers
were of excellent quality . and
many were, hard • to beat in
Michigan.
A picnic dinner was enjoyed
at the Saline Park at noon
Two farms were not visited
due to the lateness of the tour.

Leo Coplea. However, their
steers are in fine condition and
