The Rotary Club again will have
a hand in the annual 4-H and FFA
fat stock auction at the Douglas
County Fair, which will be held
Friday at 3 p.m.
The following rules apply:
1. Animals sold must be exhib
ited at the Douglas County Fair
and according to the rules outlin
ed in the premium book.
2. One club member may not of-

market beef must weigh at least
750 pounds and no more than 1,
150 pounds.
4. Only animals that grade
"good" or better will be sold in
the auction. It is necessary to have
this rule in order to present the
buyers with a reasonable product

for sale. However, if there are
members owning animals that
grade below "good and they wish
to sell, assistance will be given in
disposing of these animals for at
least the prevailing market price
for their grade.
5. When the market classes are
judged, these animals will be plac
ed according to market grade.
This means that if all animals in
the class are judged to be of the
highest grade, they would all re
ceive a blue ribbon A champion
animal will be selected from the
