Eastland auction sale pushes Cattlemen's Round-Up past $220,000 mark

By J.T. SMITH

Farm Editor

EASTLAND - The 1998 Cattlemen's Round-Up for Rehab got a big boost in the fall series with the special sale at Eastland Livestock Auction Tuesday.

The Eastland sale raised $10,250 to support the work of the West Texas Rehabilitation Center and operations from its Abilene, San Angelo and Ozona campuses.

That moved the grand total of the annual Cattlemen's Round-Up to $220,885 to date.

A baby pig donated by Amanda Castillo of Eastland was auctioned nine times here Tuesday for a collective total of $940. Big-hearted cattlemen and Rehab supporters pitched in to buy and then redonate the pig to sell again and again.

Also among novelty items, a little, red wagon fetched $550.

WTRC officials expressed special gratitude to auction owners David and LaQuetta Coan and all the Eastland Livestock Auction staff, along with the buyers and donors.

The final fall Round-Up sale will come during a break in the regular auction at Junction on Monday.
