Steer Sale Breaks Price Record At County Fair Sale
A steer sold for more than 100000 at the county fair, setting a possible national record. Cindy Temp, the first to bid, selected the Charolais animal after her sister’s UW Madison year, with 14 beef animals in the family’s 4-H project. The sale, in a new ring funded by West Salem FFA, supported an education fund as the Temp children prepare for college. Cub Foods and Onalaska figures pledged community support, following the swine sale cancellation due to a pseudorabies-positive hog. Grand champion lamb sold for 360 per pound and reserve at 260.

Cows Over Consumers Ties Campaign Money to Votes
Ellen Haas, director, says lawmakers receiving over 1000 in contributions tilt toward cows over consumers. The study links FEC data on campaign giving with Census milk production and House votes on dairy price supports on November 9, 1983, noting districts without cattle still show this pattern.

Allis-Chalmers pledges to cover supplemental benefits in court
In a court filing Allis-Chalmers said it could fund supplemental payments under $200,000 a month for early retirees, while acknowledging total pension obligations of about 27 to 30 million dollars over the life of the contract. UAW attorney George Graf criticized the position as deflecting federal responsibility, warning of harm to participants’ health coverage and survivor protections if the pension plan ends. He argued termination would bar benefits and vesting for many, including those not reaching 10 years.
