| Description: | This segment pertains to a live stock auction happening at the Ohio State Fair. Segment begins with CU of a fast talking auctioneer. He wears a hat and speaks into a microphone. To his left and to his right stand two young beauty queens with tiaras on their heads. View of a section of the audience where young men & women are seated. They all wear white uniforms. A blonde woman holds up a sign that reads "Prices Are Not Frozen Here". Closer shot of a second woman with a short haircut. She smiles as she holds a sign that reads "Prices Up, Up and Away". View of a lamb up for action. A young woman holds on to the animal inside a fenced arena. A crowd is seated around the perimeter. Second shot of the animal for sale. In this frame the animal, the handler, the auctioneer and the crowd can be seen. CU of the crowd. There are Caucasian men & women of varying ages. CU of the lamb with his blue ribbon. Camera pulls back to reveal a man with a microphone interviewing the young female handler. Scene changes to a Caucasian male reporter standing outside of the auction stadium. In the background stands a large black steer that is being kept on a rope. CU of a sticker that reads "East or West-Beef Is Best!". Camera pulls back to reveal the sicker hanging on a live stock stall. Some cows have been tied off here. One cow lies on a mat of hay, the other stands, but can't really go anywhere. CU of the face of a cute cow. She chews her cud and stares into the camera. Camera pulls back to reveal that this cow is resting her head on the back of a neighboring cow. They look kind of sad and terribly restricted. Back to the reporter who is now interviewing a man. The man talks about the price of beef. Behind the interview, young men are washing and hosing cows down. Closer shot of a young shirtless boy with apron giving a cow a bath. The cow has soapsuds all over its body. CU of a wet cow face, with soap dripping from its eyes. View of apron boy placing a harness over the cow's face. | |
