Three times a day the calves that belong to the Harner brothers, Myron, Donald and Orval of Clay County, Minnesota, are made aware of the fact they have masters. Except on days when one or two of the boys are too busy to take care of his own calf, which doesn't happen often, each boy leads his own calf to water morning, noon and evening, and also feeds the animal. The result is that when one of the boys goes into the barn and shouts the name of his calf, that calf will throw up his head, cock his ears forward expectantly and great his master while the others goon about their cud chewing or whatever else they are doing at the moment. Thus when show times comes around the animals are so accustomed to being handled that they follow their masters like well trained dogs. But there is more reason for this daily handling of the calves than simply the business of training them for showing. Each of the boys knows exactly how his calf is coming along, and whether it is eating as much as it should. That this constant attention pays off is proved by the records the boys' calves have made. Myron, who is 12, now has his fourth calf, and each year his animals have placed in the blue ribbon class. Donald, now 14 years old, is feeding his sixth calf this year and he, too, has had blue ribbon winners year after year, and one year he had the reserve champion in a county show where competition is extremely keen. The calf he fed in 1847 was such an outstanding individual that he was bought for the fat cattle division of the Western Livestock Show at Denver, Colo., and placed sixth there. Orval, 17, has his eighth calf this year, and besides having one reserve championship at home and always winning blue ribbons with his animals has won high ranking places at the Junior Livestock Show in South St. Paul. Youngest member of the Harner family, Wesley, who is three years old, watches his brothers as they handle their calves, and is looking forward tot he time when he is old enough to have a membership in the local 4-H Club so that he, too, can have a calf. Perhaps when Wesley is old enough to show he will be buying his show calves from his older brothers because cattle production on the Harner place is a family affair. Even Mother Harner has trouble keeping her hands off her purse sometimes when she goes to a sale and sees some good stock being sold. She has bought two heifers. Donald and Orval also own heifers and are planning to develop their own herds. There are now 40 head of good grade and purebred Angus in the family herd, 17 of them mature cows. John Harner, the boys' father, sells them the calves they want for Club projects, charging the regular market price for them, and then a part of the boys' work on the farm goes toward paying the calves' feed bill.
