I assume Mr Green read the book 10 days every January by
Willard Sims former manager of the National Western
I was very lucky to have know Mr Sims more importantly Charles Kirk Jr.
Livestock superintendent . Charley as I knew him was one of the first exhibitors of the National Western Stick Show with his dad they showed
Galloway Cattle. I was luckily enough to win a award presented me by Charley
And got my photo with him.

I learned clipping g from a Angus guy from Montana Roger Bowers
He took me over to show me Big Mac the Grand Champion steer that was selected the day before in his display pen
Roger showed me how the black shoe polish they used to die him black would rub off on your fingers
Like thousands of exhibitors I met some popular cattle fitter and showman of the time yes I was atleast one of the people that Joe Lewis of Alfalfa
Lawn Farms taught me how to show cattle witH Jim Miller
