Dr. Hitzhusen has been the official clerk at our auction of livestock for numerous years. In his honor the auction box was named Doc’s Box. During his semi-retirement years he began a new hobby of baking bread. He would bring several loaves to the auction to be auctioned off to the highest bidder with the money going to the 4-H Program.
