Texas Boys and Their Baby Beeves at the Texas State Fair -- Texas 4-H Club boys and members of the Future Farmers of America showed baby beeves at the State Fair of Texas junior livestock show this week that made competition hard in the junior classes and not easy in the open classes. Here is one of the good calves that demonstrates the boys' ability to feed cattle properly. H. L. Martin, who was prominent in his county show this year, came down from Throckmorton County with the baby beef. The animal was bred by R. A. Brown of Throckmorton and was fed under direction of V. S. Payne of that city. H. L. Martin is pictured here with the baby beef. He is holding the calf's halter, wearing a cowboy hat, button-up shirt, cuffed jeans and cowboy boots. Two automobiles are parked in the background. Published in The Fort Worth Star-Telegram morning edition, October 13, 1940.
