A guy left a message on my phone Monday, complaining that he didn't see the results of the weekly livestock auction in Greene County this week in the newspaper. He said he realized we might have been busy slapping ourselves on the back for being around for 200 years, but what he really needed to know was the prices at the auction, and not a bunch of self-serving history.
It's true that the livestock auction results were not in the paper this week. They weren't in last week, either, or for that matter, in any paper for the past 234 weeks, because we stopped running the results three and a half years ago.
Truth is, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture does a pretty good job of posting livestock auction prices from around the state online, and probably most people in the farming industry rely on the PDA site for their information. For some reason, the Greene auction results aren't listed there; nevertheless, the demand for this information from our readers is very low.

Where's the beef?
I hear there are going to be some great ads in Sunday's paper for oxen yokes, and don't miss the display ads for Carter's Liver Pills and Fletcher's Castoria. ;)
Oxen yolks .... mmmmmmmmmmmm. I didn't know they laid eggs.
White AND brown, from what I understand. ;)
