“At the March meeting of the
board of directors of the Bandera
County Ranchmen and Farmers
Association it was decided to spon-
sor a Sheep Foundation program
patterned after the Hay Founda-
tion Angora Goat program and
the Sears Foundation Sheep pro-
gram,” reported Ray F. Wyatt,
manager for the Bandera County
Ranchmen and Farmers Associa-
tion.
“Our program to be in charge
of the board of trustees, the di-
rectors of the Warehouse to select
two members and they to name the
third,” he said.
“In selecting these men we tried
to pick a good sheep man, also
one who had worked with our
boys and girls in our junior live-
stock shows. Our selection was
Rhea Mansfield, and Raymond
Hicks. They selected Tom Carpen-
ter of Medina as their choice for
the third trustee.’
“The trustees met with tiie di-
rectors and discussed the type of
sheep, also the flock that we
thought would be the most desir-
able for our program. It was de-
cided to contact Mr. Bryan Hunt
of Sonora, Texas, as his sheep
have been under selective breeding
and culling supervised by Mr. Fred
Earwood for more than 20 years.
Our committee with the help of
our Agriculture Agent Werner
Lindig, contacted Mr. Hunt and
he told us he would help with
this program . Through his fine
cooperation twenty yearling ewes
from his flock have been donated
to our foundation by Mr. Hunt and
Fred Earwood of Sonora and
Charles Schreiner III of Kerrville.
We are very grateful to these fine
gentlemen as we know these sheep
could not have been purchased at
any price,” said Mr. Wyatt.
The twenty yearling ewes were
brought in the first of the week
and placed at the Bandera County
Agriculture Center. On Thursday,
Jptve 27, these sheep were shorn
in a demonstration showing the
