In the livestock show department of the State Fair, Don Brown placed first with his Angus Steer for a total of $25.00 premium money. Don also won sixth place with his Hereford steer and second and third places with Hereford heifers. Following the State Fair at Oklahoma City, Don Brown exhibited an Angus steer at the American Royal Livestock Exposition at Kansas City, Missouri. His calf placed third at this show. Mr. Wyatt drove his car on this trip and Howard Bose, Gerald Vanimon, and Harvey Schmidt accompanied him. Don Brown and Harvey Schmidt were delegates from our chapter to the F. F. A.
