Fewer animals,

Ron Currin a member of the
sponsoring Morrow County
Livestock Association and a
veteran committeeman for
the 4 H and FFA livestock

auction was the smoothest and
best yet."
Clista Vennard, sale clerk
with the 1st National Bank

year 88 animals were auc

In 1972 there were more than
100 animals sold, but the gross
was $6,000 less at $24,305.60
Mrs. Vennard points that
this year prices were up and
that all animals sold brought
ceiling price or better. In 1972
a few animals were sold for
less than ceiling price.
