There should be some system to the
tagging of the cattle on exhibition.
Some tack the tags on the stalls, where
they can be read by everybody. Some
tie the tags on the horns or the halter,
where you can find them If you climb
into the stall and the cattle are gentle.
Some exhibitors tie the cattle up and
put the entry tags in their pockets, and
the people who 60 by can guess what and
whose they are If they wish. All this
makes no difference with the award of the
premiums, but there are some OF the
people attending the fair who would
like to know what they are seeing.
