All Junior Farmer and 4-H Club members and any other farm boys and girls, under 26 years of age as of No- vember 1st, 1969 are eligible to enter this competition. The day will begin with registration at the Township Hall, Brooklin at 8.30 a.m, Judging will be done during the morning at the farms of local livestock breeders. Reasons will be given on the.classes judged following the noon lunch. The ability to judge livestock is one of the first eesentials for a success- ful livestock farmer. The ideal of every good breeder should be to breed animals with a combination of good type and outstanding ability to pro- duce. The development of a good herd can! be accomplished by learning the basic skills in the art of judging. It is only through careful observation and Livestock judging is a very import- ant part of the regular Junior Farmer and 4-H club programme. All inter- ested farm boys and girls are invited! to attend this competition and learn about livestock judging. ALD. R. G. LAMB, OF LINDSAY With the sudden passing of Ald. Russell G.
