Hutchings Martha 6814, an Angus
heifer was donated by Hutchings Cattle Co., Rich and Gary
Hutchings, Fallon, NV to the Western States Angus Auxiliary. The
female, a daughter of LAU Decade was selected from the heart of
their herd and represented the high quality of Angus cattle that
sell at their Black Attack Bull and Female sale held annually on
the 3rd weekend of February in Fallon, Nevada.
Included with the sale of the heifer
was a flush provided by the Pat Richards DVM embryo transfer
service of Bliss, Idaho.
The heifer and flush package was
sold at the 55th Western National Angus Futurity in Reno, Nevada
with proceeds to be used for Western States Angus Auxiliary
scholarships and awards. The Auxiliary provides educational
scholarships, Western States Angus Queen travel expenses, Western
Regional Junior Angus show awards and outstanding 4-H, FFA or
