Enterprising Business Men Invest in Cattle Industry Future
A group of business leaders funded the cattle industry at Amarillo Fat Stock Show and aided the Junior Welfare League of Amarillo. The grand champion calf changed hands several times, raising funds for charity. Mark Taylor of Phillips Petroleum bought the calf for 66 cents per pound and donated it to the Junior League. The calf then moved through buyers including Furr Food Stores, First National Bank of Amarillo, Southwest Public Service, Walter Irvin Inc, and Amarillo Gas Company, with final sale back to Furr for 23 cents a pound. The sale supported junior activities as part of a social program.
