The Showing of Livestock by Colleges

University of California, Davis, California

Abstract

From the beginning the International management has taken the position of encouraging the participation of the agricultural colleges and experiment stations in the open class competitions at its annual livestock expositions. With an apparent purpose of lending special encouragement to those institutions at a time when the feeling was prevalent that they might not be able to compete too creditably with the experienced showmen and feeders of purebred and of commercial cattle, sheep, and hogs, the public spirited and progressive minded livestock commission firm of Clay, Robinson and Company established at the International the college classes for fat animals.

In response to the cordial attitude and financial encouragement referred to, the young men responsible for the work in animal husbandry in the agricultural schools rose to the occasion and early in the history of the show demonstrated the ability of the institutions to give good account of themselves in the strongest of open competition.
