RE CY CL E Fe br ua ry i s fr ee agricultural tire collection month Brian and Melissa Calla- han of Red Bluff, are new members of the American Angus Association, accord- ing to Allen Moczygemba, CEO of the national breed organization. The association, with more than 25,000 active adult and junior members, is the largest beef breed as- sociation in the world. Its computerized records in- clude detailed information on over 18 million regis- tered Angus. The Association records ancestral information and keeps production records and genomic data on indi- vidual animals to develop industry-leading selection tools for its members. The programs and ser- vicesoftheassociationhelp members to advance the beef cattle business by se- lecting the best animals for their herds and marketing quality genetics for the beef cattle industry and quality beef for consumers. RANCHING Callahans join American Angus Association The 6th annual Red Bluff Hereford Sale, Feb. 7-8, 1947, had 393 regis- tered Hereford bulls con- signed by 51 nationally known breeders from Montana, California, Or- egon, Utah, Washington, Idaho and Arizona. Auc- tioneers were Freddie Chandler, Chariton, Idaho and Charles Adams, Los Angeles, with judges and graders, Harold Guilbert and Alex McDonald. The following is from the Hereford Sale Section of the Daily News. "Big Vaudeville Show is Slated for Cowmen," by Dave Minch. About a month ago the Bull Sale commit- tee met and asked me to take charge of the bull sale entertainment. Each year the attendance has grown. The first year the crowd overflowed the Women's Club house; last year 635 jammed into our former store build- ing; this year there was no place in the county large enough in which to serve a banquet, so we de- cided to disperse with the eating and put the money into a good show. The new State Theatre was se- cured and the vaudeville show will be held there Friday evening, Feb. 7. Among other problems this year was transpor- tation for the entertain- ers from Hollywood and San Francisco. This was settled by having them come from Hollywood to San Francisco and in San Francisco all will get aboard a Southwest air- ways chartered plane which will bring them to Red Bluff and return them the same night. Another problem was music. Good entertain- ers do not like to perform unless they have an ex- perienced orchestra back of them, so this year at a considerable expense we are bringing Walt Roesner and his orches- tra from San Francisco. You may have heard him at the Warfield theatre or Golden Gate theatre or at Winterland, where he plays for the Ice Follies. Plotting a show is ac- companied by lots of wor- ries. First you plan what kind of act you want; that is, how many singers, co- medians, etc. then you find out how much money they want for 15 minutes of work. After it is all planned out some always get laryngitis or a con- tract for a two-weeks run back East or something of the sort, and we start substituting acts. When the show finally is staged it bears small resem- blance to what you ex- pected in the first place. Ken Dailey in the Bert Levey company office in San Francisco has been responsible for most of our shows. He works be- tween us and the enter- tainer's agents. We sit in his office and he shows us pictures of the actors. These pictures are always at least as good looking as the entertainers, and sometimes I think the pictures are a little the better. When we agree on an act he signals his secre- tary to get the agent on the phone, see if the act is available on our date, and if so, at what price. When prices are quoted we must add transpor- tation charge and 10% agency charge, and then figure if what they will do in ten-to-fifteen minutes will be worth the price they are asking. Incidentally, all agents live in Hollywood and al- most without exception belong to a race which is noted for its business ability. We found that top ac- tors want large amounts of money. For instance, the agency told us that Mickey Rooney was avail- able for a personal ap- pearance at from $5,000 to $6,000. Numerous others wanted around $3,000. The big difference be- tween putting on this show and opening a reg- ular show is that we don't have to wait until af- ter the opening night to know whether it is going to lose money or not. The show as of today looks as follows, subject to change without notice, cancellations, Act of God, and things we can't even imagine. Two years ago Charles Stover said he would like to get us a good male singer. This year we have secured one of the best in California. His name is Armand Girard. You may have heard him in the Persian Room in San Francisco or any Tuesday evening over KPO where he is the singing star of the Light and Mellow pro- gram. Also from the same radio program we will have Lois Hartzell, who is good to look at as well as to listen to. She has sung for the San Francisco symphony and also at the New Orleans opera, but will sing popular songs for us. Larry Blake will be with us as an imperson- ator. He comes from Hol- lywood, where he just ap- peared in Ginger Rogers' picture "The Magnifi- cent Doll." Phil and Dotty Phelps will do a balanc- ing act. They are at pres- ent at the Golden Gate theatre. Senator Murphy from Hollywood will give us a very interesting political talk. You won't know any- thing more about politics when he gets through, but you will do a lot of laugh- ing. The Senator will ap- pear as a guest star on Rudy Vallee's program next week. Valentine and Evelyn, who are now at the Bal Tabarin in San Francisco, will appear in a juggling act. Pansy Sanborn and partner will put on a comedy xylophone panto- mimic act that is a wow. One of the acts I am looking forward to with pleasure is an artist from Hollywood, Selika Petti- ford. She plays the elec- tric Hammond organ and piano, and is called the best on the coast. She does not care for plane travel, so will come here by train. The master of cere- monies and two other acts are still not decided, but you can plan on see- ing two to two and a half hours of good entertain- ment. The price of the tick- ets will be $2.50 each, in- cluding tax. The show starts at 8:30 and tickets will be placed on sale in the near future. ••• Entertainment: A pro- gram of entertainment has been arranged. Dave Minch, Red Bluff meat packer, heads the enter- tainment committee. On Feb. 6 the local commit- tee, with the assistance of business men will serve free refreshments at the banquet hall of the Trem- ont Hotel. On Friday, the vaudeville show featur- ing Hollywood headlin- ers, will be put on for cat- tlemen and consignors at the State Theatre. The show is mainly for live- stock men, but a limited number of tickets will be sold to the general public. ••• On Jan. 24, 2017 there was a wonderful show, from start to finish, at the State Theatre featur- ing Danny Kershaw, Pam Tillis, and Collin Raye, with Chad Bushnell, Mi- chael Russell and Mat- thew Songmaker as open- ing act. "Roots & Boots" was a sold out show, and the music was great. They sang songs that were country, and not the cur- rent music that is more rock than country. As someone wrote on Facebook, the show had "such a warm feeling." A great memory for the younger generation of Red Bluff Bull Sale at- tendees. Incidentally, don't for- get to help the State The- atre by buying a chair. For $500 you can dedi- cate it to someone.

JE A N BA RT ON Th e 1 94 7 R ed B lu ff H er ef or d S al e CONTRIBUTED Seventy years ago, cattlemen did not have the vaccines to keep our animals healthy, as I have mentioned the various shots when I attend a branding. Cutter had a vaccine for black-leg, plus a vaccine for Bruccelosis, and KRS was applied to wounds to keep screw worm flies away. We still vaccinate our calves to prevent black-leg, and all heifers are vaccinated by a veterinarian for Bang's disease. Cutter became part of Bayer Animal Health. PLEASERECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER.
