But the high prices the champion animals have been bringing for the past four years didn't happen by accident. It's the result of much behind the scenes work by a 17-member Sale of Champions committee.

Their goal is to make the sale of champion animals at the Jr. Roundup bigger and better each year. This, in turn, provides a greater incentive for boys and girls to participate In the livestock shows and work harder to be a winner. "The Sale of Champions committee, composed primarily of Jackson area businessmen and a few others related to farming, was formed just before the 1970 sale," said Dr. Duane Tucker, 4-H livestock specialist for the Mississippi Cooperative Extension Service.

"The overall objective of the committee is to- see that the champion animals of the Jr. Roundup are sold at premium prices," added Dr. Tucker, a member of the committee. "Dixie National is a prestigious show and we 1975 sale are, from left, J. W.

Total receipts of the 26 beef, hog and sheep champions in 1970 were $6,300. That figure climbed to $19,573 in 1973 and reached a record $28,233 in 1974. Champion steers averaged $2.26 a pound, lambs $5.62 and hogs $2.39 a pound in 1974. Included in the sale of champions are the breed champions of beef, hog and sheep, as well as the grand champion and reserve grand champions of each livestock category. dealers, restaurant operators, who would be interested in the people that would be coming in for the show.

We also talked with farm equipment dealers, feed dealers and other business people that are closely related to agriculture," Robertson added. "The first three years we had a closed sale and everyone who bought an animal knew in advance what it was going to cost. However, this wasn't producing the results we wanted, so at the suggestion of Harlan Knight of Jackson, we went to an open sale in 1973 for the first time and found that it's A PORTRAIT of the Rev.

Robertson said that the members of the committee meet several times each year and determine who might be interested in bidding on the animals. Committee members then contact the prospective bidders to make plans for the sale. "We work with buyers any Congress were at a minimum (or the Division of the Mississippi week ended Sept.
