Field Day Brings Kansas Junior Hereford Meet to Garnett
Kansas Junior Hereford Association members gathered at the 2000 acre Double H Ranch seven miles south of Garnett to learn judging points from industry leaders led by Bob Beck of Winrock Ranch. Sen. Frank Carleton arrived late as more than 250 participants from 35 counties attended seeking cattle judging results and a prize selection from H H Doering. Three teen queen hopefuls stood by as summer heat trimmed attendance and delayed ranch work.

Tenrec: University researchers cite Madagascar mammal as poor learner
Princeton psychologists report the tenrec may be the animal kingdom’s champion dropout. Found on Madagascar, it rubs quills to make noises, ignores shocks and food incentives, and dies in cold or after experiments. Only one survived after a power cut and electrode work. The lone tenrec showed no inclination to learn.
