At the local stockyards this past week, there was a big ox sold. I did not see him, but will likely get the chance since the owner bought him and his new home is at the yards.
I am told he looks like a Holstein, has no horns, is about 9 years old and weighed in at 3000 lbs. The ringman said that the old boy stood about a foot higher than his (the ringman's) head.
He came in from the West with a load of stockers. Anybody from the Vermillion area who might recognize him?
