he Poultry and Small Animal auction at the Fauquier Livestock Exchange in Marshall is a happening event. Just ask horseman and real estate agent Snowden Clarke. He has a soft spot for all animals, and a visit to Bryce Lingo’s Orange Hill Farm, right around the corner from the Exchange, will confirm it. At one recent auction, Snowden was armed with bidding Number 67 when “Tom Turkey” was brought into the ring. Within minutes, they were heading back to the farm. The final bid was $110. Tom also has a new friend. And, not to worry. Tom will never grace a Thanksgiving table.
