From the Past: Wheat & Barley Day celebrated this week

12 Years Ago

July 31, 1947

A midget Hereford calf was sold last week by Keith Stedman to James Heron of the Northwest Wildlife Show. Stedman received $200 for the animal. The calf, 18 months old, weighed 400 pounds and was 32 inches high. It failed to grow normally, and Stedman hit upon the idea of selling the animal to a wildlife show which was making the fairs of the state.
